Helpful Score: 4

Wow, I don't even know how to describe the way I feel about this book. For the first 50 pages or so, I just couldn't get into it and kept thinking I was going to quit reading it, I just couldn't get used to the type of dialect that was being used in a "futuristic" book. To me the dialect was elegant, but definately more suited for a more historical type of book. Then the further involved in this book that I got, the harder it was to put down and I ended up finishing in one evening. I honestly don't know if I loved it or hated it. There were times that I felt it was just plodding along and at other times I felt so involved that I could feel their pain. However, I was somewhat disappointed when I finished reading it because I never did figure out what the plot really was, yeah, they were trying to get to the coast, but why, and all the stuff about the "fire inside", what was that? It just felt incomplete to me at the end. It was definately an experience...just not sure yet weather or not it was one I want to remember or one I want to forget! Yet, maybe that is what makes a true classic....
