oooooooo... this one really makes you think in a similar manner as Orwell's 1984. Writing is at a lower level b/c I believe this is really a children's/young adult book, but nonetheless good for adults.

There are too many loose ends in this book to make is a satisfying read for an adult. Personally, I found it vapid and wouldn't give it to a child because it lacks the kind of depth one would want to develop in a tween. Although I've read many good reviews of this book, I'm afraid it seems like a re-run of so many other stories.
