Thoughts
What can I say about this book but wow, I really didn't expect it to be as good as it was but just...The story is told from multiple perspectives (each chapter is a new perspective), I thought this might become a bit confusing, because as you can see from the above Goodreads blurb there are a lot of characters to contend with, but the story flowed really well.
I found this to be a bit of a highlight of society of today, yes it's set in the future but the problems are still the same, at the top you have the rich, and at the bottom you have the poorest who are scraping to get by. The book still somewhat resonated with the problems of today that people are still facing.
The story I thought was just well written, and all the character perspectives just flowed together really well and created this story that really pulled you in (I manage to finish it in 2 days, I was that gripped by it).
The characters as well are well written and are dealing with all different things, which again blends well to create the final scene between a couple of the characters. You can feel the story just building up to something, and it really does.
Will I be reading the sequel, yes, yes I will and I will be reading it when it comes out as I really need to know what happens next after that cliff-hanger of an ending.
