I love dystopian stories too. Reading your review about this book alone, I'm hooked. I wonder how much more I will be hooked when I'm reading this book.

This is an intriguing story. I wonder how the rest of the world fares. If I had a choice, I'd rather be a Western girl than a Nancy.

Thanks for the enticing review, kandscreeley!

I love books that have dystopian settings and explore gender roles (lookin' at you, Handmaid's Tale). This definitely sounds like a very interesting book. Wonderful review.

Great review! You made a bunch of very insightful points such as the story being too mature for teenagers - I thought the same thing while reading your the description of the plot. Still, the story sounds very interesting even though I don't usually like the dystopian genre.

bookowlie- I don't know if you've seen the latest "craze" on Amazon. The Gender Game? It kind of reminds me of that, but I've read the first in that series. So, I also know it's different. Still, it definitely is in the dystopian category. So, if you don't like that, you won't like this.

The book cover caught my attention and here I've got the review finishing me off. I love women-centric books and this one about two extremes certainly sounds like loads of fun. I can imagine the hurried desire to digest its contents. I wonder about the genesis of those situations and the final outcomes. Thanks for the riveting review kandscreeley.

When I looked at the book cover, I thought that it would be just another ordinary book, but after reading your review I really want to start reading the book. Thanks for the review.
