Silly concept. This is a book that feels like it was written by a child. I'm not sure why, but the author has decided that all humans have only 1 personality trait and that will decide your entire life. Why write science fiction if you aren't going to make it even tangential to the experiences we have all had being human.

Reads like a piece of middle class English Literature classwork. No sex. No swearing. No real violence. This is some middle class kid who has not lived do can't write. It's written for kids I'd say. Everyone so nice, even the villains, shaking hands, etc. Come on its a post apocalyptic world. Very very poor. Buy it to see how bad writing can be, if you must. That's all I can think it's good for.... I know nothing about the author. I could be miles off but I'd like to add they must be a religious not job.

Like many l heard of the film, l had enjoyed the hunger games so gave this a go. Plus at the time of purchase it was reduced in price. Having read the first book im kinda at a loss. It ends with lots of questions needed to be answered but then there are follow on books so its to be expected. The main problem is that now there are so many books of this type on the market that it doesnt shine as brightly as it should. Still it was a good read.
