The book is very interesting, to say the least. It's a lot more sci-fi than I anticipated from the synopsis. My only problem is that I can't get past the choppy, incomplete sentences. I understand that this book is written through the eyes of a teenager who has been plagued by the Tox and has lost the life she knew, which would turn anyone cynical. But there is something offsetting in a book that contains only dry, direct, choppy sentences; it makes the paragraphs confusing and the reader begins to lose interest. Based on the synopsis, and not at all on the excerpt, I would like to see how this story develops and attempt to muscle through the writing style. Final note: the cover is absolutely amazing.
