*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*3.5 starsI felt conflicted about this book. For while I enjoyed the story, there were other aspects that I was not a big fan of. For example, the writing style took a lot of getting used to. Big words, some so obscure I needed to consult a dictionary, and just the writing style in general seemed to be something one would expect to find inside an instruction manual or textbook, not a fun read. The writing style did diminish my reading, as I was left trying to decipher that along with the plot, but once I got used to it, I started enjoying the book.The plot was intriguing, and I was drawn in to the story. It's scary to think about how the events in the book aren't some dystopian, sci-fi, hundred-year-from-now events, but something that could happen in our world today. It was hard to read at time, hence while I enjoyed it, I was still conflicted.All in all though, I did enjoy the book, and if you can get over the writing style (check the preview on Amazon for an example), and if you enjoy political thrillers, then this is a good read for you.
