"A must read! It was ahead of its time and surprisingly relevant in many ways to todays political climate. "

Sandy Lopez

" This book was good, encouraging, eyeoprning, then horrifying. It is crazy how one can look at sociaty today and find similarities to the book. The thing is I love sad endings, but I need hope and love present. This book ended with the horror of a lost person who would never see the truth again, a broken soul with no hope or love. That scares me."

Becky Wolt

"This book left me speechless. Definitely a MUST read."

"I had to read this book for school and I didn’t love it but it wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever had to read. The plot definitely had some potential I just didn’t love the ending or some riskier subjects that it had. Overall I’d give it three out of five stars because it was sort of suspenseful and interesting."

Abby

"OG dystopian novel, all about big brother; the character are paranoid and devious and the plot is great. It’s overall not a bad book, but I will only ever read it once. "

Jaedyn Mcgalin

"This book is supposed to be fiction. If you read it and look at our world today, you can tell it’s not really fiction 10/10"

Elle Gutierrez

"I loved this book❤️ The ending was disappointing (as in I didn’t want it to end that way, not that I didn’t think it was a good ending) but I liked it anyways. so sad"
