I don’t know what to say... I just couldn’t stop reading this book. It is very brutal and short: a mix between "Maze Runner" and "Ghost in the shell". Nevertheless I have to say that the end has disappointed me a little and I don’t really believe it.

A really interesting dystopia, definitely one for our current times, and will probably be the successor of books such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. I really enjoyed it, though I found that some moments dragged out or were pointless, but I’m looking forward to reading the next part of the story.
