Forget the Hype that you may have seen in the media on this.<br /><br />I picked up the book and read it in a day.<br />First I'll acknowledge that its a novel written for teen and that is does follow some of the usual conventions for novels written for young adults- no big surprise there in fact I was on page 3 and correctly predicted things about the book based on my experiences from taking a "Teaching Reading Class" in college so that I'd be the only male in an all female class.<br /><br />Despite the fact that the book was targeted at a audience younger than me and that I totally recognized the conventions usually associated with novels for that age group is was a seriously enjoyable read, witnessed by the fact I could not put it down and burned throught the book in a day. I recommend it based on my enjoyment of it and for the fact that its a sci-fi dystopian setting. However if you're into survival you'll find this book interesting as well.<br /><br />Already have book two and digging into that and it promises to be quite different from the first book but every bit as interesting.
