This book will make you think... if you want to. The premise of the story revolves around something that could very well happen in our future: food contamination. The Grays (military officials, basically the people running the country) mess with the genetics of food to make people stronger, faster, complacent, calmer, etc. Pretty much, whatever they want you to feel or do, they can manipulate you through the food.That's a scary thought. A very real thought. This could happen.Dianne's writing is fluid, the action in the book is nonstop, and the characters are very real. I feel like I've been to Mexico with Ivana, Jose, Nate and Jerry; that I've been to first the Lab and then prison with Abree. There are so many things that happen in this novel, which also has a strong line of mythology in it, based around the Quetzacoatl and the Ant People. Everything about this book is captivating. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great YA Dystopian to read!
