This is one of those books that I wanted to read simply because of how much people talk about it (even today). I finished it this weekend and all I can really say about it, is it's INTENSE. It's a book that needs to be read, but not one that I'd ever want to re-read. A scary look into government control, so well written that at times I would close the book and look around, feeling like I was being watched.
