What attracted me in the first place was that this book was labeled as an Ender’s Game “look alike” of sorts. So I thought it would probably be to my liking; I must say, I wasn’t disappointed. If you look further into the words and the storyline you can find many valuable life-lessons and realities that take place in our lives; they’re lived through Tom and the difficult situations he’s had to go though. This book will take you through a wide range of emotions that you’ll continue feeling even after you’ve closed it; if you’re used to immersing yourself deeply into a story and not being able to keep it out of mind when you’re not reading, I recommend you read this when you’re free of any commitments whatsoever.

I’d never read anything quite like this book. It was a refreshing change from reading the usual.

Aldous Huxley’s imagination is boundless and the fact that he could create such a structured world and it all came from his own head amazes me. It’s also impressing how this book was written in 1932; to have such a clear vision of the future and the creation of biotechnology in that year is very unusual, at least to me. Aldous shares visions of the future with people that are almost a century away from his time; as we evidently haven’t reached the level of advancement that the society in the book presents.

This book is timeless and now I understand clearly why it is thought of as a classic; its meaning will trascend and will still remain relevant even to societies far away from the actual ones.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to have a breath of fresh air and change from the usual book.

I enjoyed reading this book and found myself enthralled by its plot. I must admit I wasn’t expecting it to be as entertaining and well written at the same time, it was a pleasant surprise for it to be both. It was hard t keep track of some details due to the fact that they were not explained; meaning Kat’s life as a thief before she entered Colgan. Still; this gave me a longing to get to know the characters more and I must admit I can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel.

As the cover states, this book does have an air of John Green’s writing style; still, it’s completely different; If we’re comparing both authors based on this book and one of John Green’s, Robyn Schneider stuck closely to how things actually happen in real life and how people react to certain situations.
