If you've never read a YA dystopian novel before, you'll probably be smitten with this. If you have... well, there's nothing new here. 
 The premise itself is interesting, but it devolves very quickly into the most typical dystopian tale out there. I was never surprised by the directions the book took in general, though some of the little details were neat. I could probably predict the general plot of the other two books in the series if pressed. 
 The writing is average at best and baffling at worst. And by that I mean the pacing is unbelievable. It makes the character "growth" seem anything but natural. Also, I'm sorry, but if you're saying "I love you" on page 90 I can't take you seriously ever again. Also, forced love triangle (though with a boy at the centre for a change) and a break up by page 300. I just. Stop it. Why. The characters are flat and archetypal and boring anyway. 
 I wouldn't bother unless you've got a craving for another run-of-the-mill dystopia.
