Review:

I really enjoyed this book.  Most dystopian books are depressing and this one is not without its downside, but Carey does a good job of making lemonade out of lemons.  I liked the development of the characters in the book--the main characters seemed like real people.  In general, decisions resulted in logical consequences although there is one glaring example of a Batmanesque escape.  If the escapes weren't at least somewhat implausible, then the book wouldn't be very exciting, would it?  I like the avenues left open to a new story while still allowing this book to end on its own and feel like a good read without a necessity to read the next in the trilogy (although I plan to do just that).
