I think the thing that stuck out to me most about this book was the style of writing. It's hard to describe Condie's writing but to put it simply it feels like this book is written in the style of a poem, with all of the metaphores and hidden meanings. This was shown especially in Ky's POV with him telling his past. Anyways this book was a nice read and felt nice and thought out.
