I was absolutely drawn in by the cover of this book as it is so unusual, as it turns out the story itself is equally unique. The journey I went on as a reader was incredible and unbelievable and had me questioning the dark thoughts people can have. I found the description of the world really helpful, but repetitive in parts and felt that the multiple viewpoints were a little confusing at times. However, the characters developed well in my opinion and I particularly liked how we learnt more about Rico (and he learnt more about himself) at the story went on. I wouldn't recommend this as a light read, but more for people who are interested in a really thought-provoking premise that is, at times, quite a terrifying prospect.
