3.0

This book left a huge impression on me when I was 11 ish. I still find myself thinking about the 10% sometimes.

Anyway, here are my main (spoiler-free) complaints:

1. This book could’ve (and should’ve) been a lot shorter. After a certain point, we were just having the same moral quandary over and over again. I was bored. 

2. The way sociopathy/psychopathy was represented in this book was dehumanizing and ableist.
