Many comments regarding this book.

It's a book I liked and hated at the same time. Although the writing simplistic and the concept not unique, the overwhelming idea of utopian societies is fascinating.

I have to admit that I became consumed with the novel and how it would end. I think that is what fascinates me most about utopian/dystopian novels....the concepts of good versus bad, right versus wrong, etc. the grey areas where people live and get lost....intermingled with those concrete single focused people. The leaders versus the followers. The same cautionary tale told from a different point of view. Don't we all know how these stories end? Should we?
