To put in perspective, I started reading this book today at work at 4pm because I had a few extra minutes to kill, I finished this book at 2am despite having an 8am meeting. I was incapable of putting it down once I started. First thing I have to say is I am not a big distopia sci-fi fan because it tends to freak me out, I bought this out of boredom and absolutely got my money worth.The story was so great (in a disturbing kind of way) it made me uncomfortable and made it so I had to finish the book because I had to see how it ended.I really like Seven I thought he was adorable and so tragic I wanted to hug him every 4 pages. Ugh and don't get me starts on Thirteen...One thing I really enjoyed is that this book forces you to have ethical dilemmas, some of the characters do really bad things but it's sooooo hard to hate them for it. There were moments I was genuinely angry and wanted to just shut the book but I couldn't because I was invested in these characters who were both victims and killers.I could see how this book wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but if you read to the 3rd chapter I don't see how you could stop.I am crossing fingers that there will a sequel I NEED to know what happens to Twenty-Three and Thirteen.My one real criticism of the book and the reason it's not a perfect five stars for me is the over use of sex scenes, I have no problem with reading sex scenes at all and there even well written in this book. The problem was that as much was going on and as detrimental as the consequences were Chase and Seven were doing it like they were in Hawaii enjoying a honeymoon. I completely get the first time and being over taken surviving the stuff they did but I felt like they skipped a lot of very important conversations to have sex every time they could. But overall I don't think it takes too much away from the book.Worth the time.
