Thanks, Otto! It was fun to write. I know the review has a rather serious tone. Decided to do it that way because after I finished the novel that was the feeling I was left with. That is, I could not help but feel that it was an extremely fun book that did a bang-up job of hiding a pretty crappy dystopian existence. I am planning a lighter post on the novel featuring the aspects of the novel that were indeed fun – the music, the quests, that sort of thing.
