There are tons of books out there with a futuristic dystopian theme, and so finding a good one can be difficult.  I'm glad to report though that this book is excellent.  The author does a sterling job of describing both the world the book is set in and the characters themselves.One thing that sometimes annoys me with books is when they are overly reliant on dialogue rather than description.  This book is not one of those, instead it carries the story forwards at a perfect pace with vivid, and at times, disturbing detail.  The lead character is a 20 year old who goes through trails and ordeals that would test anyone to their limit, but there is more to this book than the surface story as it subtly asks questions of our own religions, culture and politics.  It could be described as part Hunger Games, part 1984.All in all an excellent story and I'm looking forward to the next in the series already. Recommended!
