Good dystopian future regarding population crisis (2 more)
Good storyline
Good cast

I watch and read a lot of dystopian future. Many are about the population crisis. This has used an idea that has already been seen to be used in China and expanded on the idea and the possibilities of its enforcement worldwide. Obviously the likelihood of gm crops causing multiple births is a little farfetched but the way that the scenarios are dealt with really drew me in. And who doesn't like a good government conspiracy?
It would have been nicer to get the know each of the girls a little bit longer so you could link a face/personality to a name, but I suppose that was also the point if it.

"Thoughtful apocalyptic concept"
This novel mixes an apocalyptic scenario with real life dramas from a bygone era. The various narratives are engaging and the back and forth stories knit together all the different subplots. The fact that it surrounds a troupe of performers with a past history in the arts makes for a different kind of dystopian fiction.

"I read this book along with Animal Farm as a teenager and they made a profound impact on me and the way I view government and propaganda in general. The futuristic dystopian visions that these books portray are unfortunately eerily similar to what we’re experiencing right now with the Trump administration in all its flagrant manipulations and “alternative facts.” "

Great YA Dystopian Read (0 more)
YA cliches (0 more)
This book is a great read for a younger audience looking for a good YA series to sink your teeth into. Although there are many YA tropes and cliches, the premise of the book is interesting enough for this stereotypes to be overlooked.


The story is short so it won't take particularly long to read. I, being a slow reader, read the book is six hours.

As I said, the concept of the book is interesting, inviting you to question opinions on morality and immortality. The book does contain mild abuse because of the dystopian elements in the book however they are not graphic in detail.


I loved reading this book when I was younger and I am still enjoying rereading as an adult.
