Picked this up on a whim because I wanted to read it before watching the series on Hulu. If I'd read it before, it would have been just another dystopian tale; but, given the way things are in the States these days, it feels prophetic and is absolutely terrifying.

Docked a star for the writing style. I know everyone's got their own and I should probably be more appreciative, but it just didn't suit me. So many commas...
