Review
This book is an emotional roller coaster ride and I loved it!!! You can't really use the word cliche on this book, even when you may know the outcome of something it could come with a twist or not come at all.
The characters are people that you can relate to and the relationships are made on a way that they feel so natural you can get lost in them. Even thought the book is told from a one person perspective the book doesn't loose interest and the other characters aren't really over shadowed by this, some are even enhanced and made unforgettable.
Even if the movie hadn't come out I feel this book is a must read for all the Dystopian and Young Adult Action books.
