I liked this one all right, but nowhere near as much as the other dystopian YA books I've been reading lately. Something about it seemed so contrived, like people just happen to overhear conversations far too frequently. It's like there are only 6 people living in the entire place, so OF COURSE they all keep overhearing things. 
 I don't know. The violence is similar to The Hunger Games. The love story is similar to Delirium. The societal structure is similar to The Giver. Throw them in a blender and hit puree, and this is what you get.
