The Sky Inside by Clare B. Dunkle

3.0

The Sky Inside is another distopian novel about life after the human race implodes on itself. People now live in suburbs - little fully contained communities inside a bubble where their only real purpose is to act as consumers. They'd don't even have the fun of making babies - nope those get delivered in rail cars fresh from the genetics engineering factory. In many ways, this book felt very like Louis Lowery's The Giver. It has the same feel, society, secrets etc.

The characters are interesting and the pace good, the description good and the dialogue good. Nothing really wows me in this book. It's good, not a bad read, just not a great one either and as I said, a close cousin to The Giver. The ending feels very unfinished.
