This book is breathtaking, and a great example of the reality of living in a dystopian society. The book has similarities to society in The Giver, and still puts its own spin on the rules of The Givers society. I love how the book adds Flashbacks from back on Earth and how it contrasts between Earth and the spaceship. So much similes, symbolism, imagery, and much much more.
