"I have trust issues."
Right...I really do, when it comes to "dystopian" books. I've read another version of this tale and liked that one better. Did that stray my thinking or maybe make me like this one less - possibly.
But this one just never gets to the point. Even 200 pages in, you are still COMPLETELY guessing what is going on and who is doing what. By the time it got going, about another 80 pages later, I was so done with it all. It wasn't mysterious, just boring and annoying.
also, this book falls into one of my pet peeves - it would jump from narrator to narrator mid sentence, mid paragraph and/or mid chapter. I hate when I can't figure out who's who.
