's review

it was ok
bookshelves: dystopian

Ok, I won't write a summary of the book, it is above.

Dystopia-book, obviously. But it really seemed interesting, the cover is catching and the summary promises something new but....
I already read so many of these books that I couldn't find anything new in them.

(view spoiler)

For me, the Delirium-Trilogy was much more interesting, realistic and original. This books seems to be a combination of Delirium with it's regime, Orwell's 1984 and the futuristic idea of our society.
If you want to read about a real Dystopia you really can find better books. And if you want to read about an unrealistic hate-first-prohibited-love-second you also can find books that are definetely more interesting. Just sayin'
Indeed, the book is written interesting, the language is fluent and easy to read (view spoiler) but it does not make a book...

So just two stars...Sorry... :(

Watching the trailers of dystopian movies doesnt fascinate me so I have avoided the books and the movies too!

To be honest I think it depends on the author and his/her focus...And in most of the cases I don't like dystopian movies either, they hardly ever meet up all the expectations *sigh*
I think you should give some Dystopian books a try though, just to get a glimpse of this genre ;) And Delirium is one of the series I would immediately recommend, so good start!
You could try Hunger Games and 1984 too. The second one is a classic and the ultimate dystopia :D
