One word: predictable. 
Kinda reminiscent of Delirium, or Uglies. Predictable, yes, but also really good. I really love the way Ally Condie writes, the way she makes the words fit together, like poetry. This book is beautiful.

The story was kinda common, boy loves girl but girl loves the mysterious brooding guy. But I really liked the setting, and the way the government is so much more controlling than in the other dystopian books Ive read. In some ways, I would like to live in this world with no disease, no hunger, and no poverty. The citizens have everything they need, they have perfectly planned lives, and they even get the exact kind of food they need delivered right at their doorstep. A perfect world (in the surface).

In someways I can empathize with Cassia (btw, I love her name). But even at the end part, I was still more attached to Xander than Ky. I feel like Cassia would've been happier with Xander, plus he knows her better. But, of course, if she stuck with Xander, there shouldnt be any reason to continue the series. HAHA.

All in all, the book was pretty good. Exactly the type of romance I like.

Das Buch beginnt sehr zaghaft und unspektakulär. Doch je weiter man in die Geschichte eintaucht, umso stärker entwickelt sich die Protagonistin, umso spannender und umso "gefährlicher" wird sie. 
Das letzte Drittel hat mich wirklich sehr positiv überrascht und den ersten Eindruck vom Buch revidiert. Das ist alles andere als nur "gute Unterhaltung", das ist hervorragend konstruiert - mit Bedacht und einer Botschaft!
