It took me nearly 2 days of reading to finish, it was hard to put down. It felt like a prequel to The Hunger Games. Answering the question: How in the world did The United States of America turn into this? While there were no mention of the games or that it is a prequel (because its not) it had the feel of a book describing the slippery slope freedom is on and how districts may be formed.
Great book! Highly recommended for everyone, except maybe small children, don't want to give them nightmares.
