Anyone who has read any one of Adams' books knows that they are unlike anything else out there. Full of imagination and originality galore.Having said that, this one is no different. Adams takes us into a society ruled by classes, where some races are considered more dominate and powerful over the others. A hierarchy of sorts, where the bottom class are considered  nothing more than stock to be used and abused as they see fit for the rest of the worlds energy needs.The story is told through the main point of view of Silas (lower class) and Jamar (upper class). These two are sort of thrown together and learn that things aren't always what they seem and not always what they were told to believe about one another and the classes.While this is predominately told in Silas' point of view it was nice to have Jamar's as well. To see how the different classes are raised, treated and revered. We also get different glimpses of the outside world away from the Car.While a lot is explained about the farms and what the boys and girls in the Cars are used for, there really isn't as much world building as I would have liked to see. I had many unanswered questions about what was going on and why the world was the way it was, how it cam about and why Silas was different from the other girls and boys with his emotions. Since this is only the first book in a planned series I can only imagine that more will be explained and revealed as the story and characters grow.Overall this was a very interesting and entertaining read, it did have its slow moments but by the end of the story it did pick back up again and get more interesting. I can only imagine what Adams has in store for the rest of the series.
