Predictable? At parts, yes. Original? Not entirely, with all of the other dystopian YA novels floating around these days. A couple parts reminded me of The Giver and a bit reminded me of Delirium. That said...

An incredibly engrossing read? Definitely! I planned to read a bit before bed, and ended up staying up until 2 to finish the book. I like the world Ally Condie has created-- it's very easy to be sucked in to, even if there are a couple plot holes that bother me.

Looking forward to the sequel in November!
