Entertaining story for fans of Dystoppian YA novels
I listened to this book because it had been on a list recommended for fans of the Hunger Games. I won't go so far to say it is a similar book--the romance between the main characters if much more the main focus and than the over throw a repressive regime--but it was entertaining. I particularly like the evolution of two starkly contrasted worlds, one a tightly controlled environment entirely reliant on technology to distract from reality and the harsher outside world where portions of the population have developed extra sensory abilities. Great summertime light reading. The main characters were compelling and the writing was well done. I would definitely read more this author. I generally struggle with narrators in the beginning of any book. Especially when you can feel they are not quite capturing the intent of the author. Bernadette Dunne has done a good job allowing the story to take the lead and embodies the characters thoroughly.
