I don't know how I really feel about this one. I've heard a lot about it but I didn't realize it was a short story instead of a novel before I started reading it. So I basically knew the whole story before reading it. I understand the value of the story and the reflections of the ethical questions involved, but I feel like the story just needed more depth. I would have been happy to read a whole book about it.
