it was ok

I prefer more personal stories, so this book wasn't for me. After the first 50 pages, I ended up skipping several pages in favor of chapters about Nell, Harv, and Miranda. The story of how Nell uses the Primer to pull herself out of a bad family situation and become someone who could fit in with the upper class held my attention. The story of Hackworth and his time with the Drummers and the bits about why one section of the society wanted to take over the others didn't appeal to me.
