review 1: Wow. This was an amazing dystopian novel that not only had a compelling prompt that is exceptionally relevant today, but actually had mature allusion to meaningful literature and complex discussions about tenuous ideals. I rarely give books 5 stars, but this one was so powerful I frequently considered how I could have incorporated it into my high school Language Arts classes or even today how I can use excerpts to teach argument and persuasion to my college composition students. I highly recommend this book for teenagers, teachers, and lovers of thought. There are some sexual exploits and references to porn sprinkled into the plot, so it's not appropriate for immature audiences.
review 2: This book is going to divide readers because it attempts to do two separa... morete things and, unfortunately, doesn't marry them together well. The exploration of ideological positions and debate between the characters is interesting, but not fully fleshed out. The love plot is interesting, but moves whiplash fast through stages, which reduces its believability. Still, I admire the book for what it's trying to do--remind us all that standardized testing WILL lead us to something horrible if not stopped. This book is a kind of midway point between the novel The Wave and Rae Mariz's The Unidentified. Recommended for younger teens. less
