I really liked this book. I felt really bad for the main character Luke, and found myself getting angry with his parents. They were all in a predicament that they just had to live with and couldn't find a way out. I was happy for Luke when he found Jen and it was interesting how she dealt with the same problem and was given more liberties than Luke. This book deals with the control of government and socioeconomic injustice and I don't feel like the characters win in the end, unfortunately. This book is for young readers, but I enjoyed it a lot. I read it all in one night, so it's an easy read. The ending was ok, I guess I wanted something more conclusive. I highly recommend.
