Ok, I hated to love this book. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I can easily see the people being manipulated to this extent. This type of thing is nothing more than extreme bigotry and I've seen a lot of that directed to fat people, smokers, homosexuals, as well as the still existing racism and such. So I can easily see people getting together and denying a portion of society their basic human rights for no reason than their personal fear/disgust/whatever of certain behaviors. We do it all the time. A search of the internet will show MANY forums that consist of people that want to "put them on an island and blow them up" or manipulate others out of the view of so called "normal" society. Those people are out there, and add it into the don't rock the boat types and the fearful "I have to protect my family" bunch and yep, it's definitely possible. I was not surprised to find very few would stand up and do something about the abuses either. However, the Underground Railroad also helped me remember that there would also be good people who will help. Do I believe something like this WILL happen? I don't know, but I believe it can. Our supposed "civilization" really isn't all that civilized and I think the author tapped into that.There were some spelling errors, but nothing that kept me from enjoying the book. It's really easy to tell what's a typo and what's just constant ignorance and it really seems to be typos. No book will be completely free from errors and that's not always the author's fault.I feel that Paivi is a product of her generation, but when push came to shove she stepped up to the plate and showed strength. I will be buying the rest of the series.
