This book started strong and sucked you in. The premise was excellent and the fast paced action continued throughout the book. However, I think that some situations were not always believable and a bit out of place, but they usually served a purpose in the plot. For example the cabin in the woods was a bit unrealistic, but served the purpose of changing Kate's thinking. Stanford's part was stretched a little too thin as well. I also wished for a stronger ending. Returning to a good note, I appreciated the fact that their attempts at getting things accomplished were not always successful right away and they had to keep trying. Overall it was an enjoyable book and worth the read if you like dystopia and suspense. ( )
