It's been a fantastically long time since the book made me think about it non-stop. I'm so happy that I decided to read this book. The setting, that imagined future was so simple on the one hand and so pensive on the other.

It was my first utopia - at least I consider this book as such. Humanity knows no disease, no wars, no poverty anymore. People overcame mortality but created a completely new death for themselves. The whole concept of that book is so fantastic, that it alone earns it a 5-star rating.

However, good things do not end here. The plot, even if in some places overshadowed by the concept, is highly exciting. The characters - main and supporting as well - make me love this book even more. There wasn't a moment where I was annoyed at them being only 16 years old.

All in all, this book is worth to be read.
