If you liked "Anthem," "Divergent," and "Uglies," you will like this book
Reading this book is reminiscent of the first time I read "Anthem," the "Divergent" trilogy, and the "Uglies" series, all of which I have reread numerous times. The numbers of the characters and the enforced "sameness" is reminiscent of "Anthem." The different models are echoes of the factions in "Divergent," with similar joint ceremonies and a similar culture between the different models as there is with the factions. Of course, the science element of enforcing the sameness in appearance adds that science element the surgery to become pretty does in the "Uglies" series.
Overall, I loved the flow of the book, and the characters appropriately all had different voices. The way the author displays the similarities and differences amongst those of the same model creates a deeper element to the story and adds to what the reader knows about the society. I enjoyed being able to re-experience what I felt upon my first reading of "Anthem," the "Divergent" trilogy, and the "Uglies" series. I can see this becoming the newest sensation in the YA dystopian genre.
