While the subject matter was more than intriguing, I guess I wanted more out of the story than what I was given. I wanted to know more about the program they were a part of and more about how each of the characters was feeling inside about it and about their lives. How could they not be outraged? What was the donation process like? How did the world come to accept this as OK? 
 I read a review in which they described the book as "controlled". And while I didn't love the book, I love that description and maybe I can appreciate the book for what is was - controlled. There could have been any number of ways that they author could have presented this. Maybe the author only wanted you to see a little slice of it and to take a look at it from the "inside".
