This is a young adult novel that my friend gave me to read. I think there is already talk of making a movie of the trilogy...and Ally's only written the first book!
This is the story of a distopian society where all choice is taken away. The powers that be have used statistics to pick which people will be happy together (and make the best babies), what job each person would be best at, when people should have babies, etc. Anyone with an independent thought is labelled an aberration and kicked out of "the good life."
This follows the typical YA format in that there is a heroine who has two guys who are in love with her and she has to choose between her best friend and the guy who makes her heart go flutter.
I enjoyed the book as entertainment. It was a quick, easy read and I will probably read the other two books in the trilogy once they come out. BUT it was not nearly as awesome as the Hunger Games.
