description: Set in a dystopian future, this book will be a good read for the YA crowd. In fact, my niece took my copy back to college with her for a light read. Well, non-course-related read. The book does a nice job of exploring what might happen if one could live forever. If everyone could live forever. Overcrowding, limited resources, and who gets access to resources and who does not. Those born without permission are warehoused in orphanages and taught that their only goal in life is to be Useful. Few are born without permission. It has a lot of Britishisms but should still be accessible to the US YA reader. It's also good for the adult reader who wants a quick read.
