I really enjoyed this novel. The philosophical and ethical concepts are so interesting to contemplate. It's a feminist utopia - this society in the book. I absolutely love reading books that feature feminist utopias. Always so interesting to see how they compare, the similarities, differences, etc.

This one was unique as it was written in first person by a male character. He was an outsider to this society, and it's fascinating to see how he responds to it. Although, I must admit, I did not like the male character ... I did, still, enjoy the entire novel. Which says a lot about how good the writing and plot is.

I read this in one night. Could not put it down, and would definitely recommend it to others.
