The writing was kind of bland and so poorly edited at times that it frequently took me out of the story, but I am still giving this book a high rating because the story itself was very intriguing and immersive. 

I think Noah’s internal struggle with who he is can be thought-provoking to anyone, about whether or not every human life does actually have true value like some preach. I mean, if that were the case, then why do we treat certain people so horribly? Why don’t we look at each person relative to their unique circumstances? Why do we generalize everyone? Because it’s easier on our brains to just assume?

The ending also took be my surprise, which doesn’t happen often, so I really appreciated that.
