I quite enjoyed this, but I don't really like the unsettling feeling of distopian stories, and it was plenty disquieting.
I read this having been told it's a Christmas story, it's barely a Christmas story, so it was rather a disappointment in that way!
The concept of how the society has developed it's perception of things was cool I thought.
