DON'T READ UNTIL YOU'VE READ THE BOOK, THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN A FEW SMALL SPOILERS AND A MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!!!
This book so, so, so, so weird, but in a good way. It show the struggles of being different. Along with a unique part of human nature; that if something proves unprofitable and/or not completly pleasurable, we'll destroy it no matter the cost.
This book is centered around a young boy who was geneticly grown in a vat along with 499 others. They were supposed to age in the vats untill they were thirty. But something happened and the 59 of the 500 that lived out in to the world as 15 year olds.
This book is very Pro Life vs. Pro Choice. All of the kids who didn't live were aborted. The book shows that when you abort the majority and leave the minority the world becomes a terriable place. The other main contrivesal part is that the main character is geneticly engineered to be different then the rest.
This book is only for readers who are open to diffrent ideas, contrivesal topics, and a slight challenge.

P.S. Teko the Hedgehog is like a mini Vinnie!!!!!
This book was a tough one for me. The obvious political references and underlying meaning hit home and I disagree with Hugh Howey on some of his opinions he slid into the book. But I did thoroughly enjoy it! It's not one to read at night, because then you can't sleep thinking about what just happened and what it means for the characters.
