This book is very good, but the size is intimidating. For anyone who does not like to read long books this book is broken into parts. Each part is like one book or a part or a series.Part one: I loved this part of the book. The characters are exciting and the plot is developed in a way that was almost scary, because it seemed very realistic. Pare one is almost like a wakeup call or a vision of what the future could be.  The author uses actual historical events to make the theories and occurrences in the story easier to relate to.Part two: When I started this part of the book it did not seem to fit with the first part of the book at all. The story being told is a completely different story, but the concept behind the story is the same. Part two can stand alone as a complete book. The concept(s) being expressed are very shocking and some are intriguing. The story made me think about all the things that occur in life that I simply accept without question or without even thinking about it. I also stopped to consider what would happen to a person if that person voiced every private thought. What would the world be like if there was a device that read thoughts and we could be prosecuted for our thoughts?Part Three:This story is a little strange to me. The concept remains the same, but the characters and method used to present the authors perspective just does not seem to work for me. I had a hard time trying to figure out if the author was trying to be humorous while presenting a serious story, or if the story was just not my style. Still the concept is very intriguing.Part four:This section is very short. It continues the story from previous parts.Part five:It is nice to have the characters return. The author brings unique writing and storytelling together to create a compelling story which truly is an eye opening experience to read.After reading all the sections I would have to say the first section is the most captivating. The second section is good, and from there, my interest started to dwindle. I do not know if it was because the story was so long, or because the author lost stem so to speak. The remaining sections did not seem as well written.
