I read this book in 24 hours. It was the kind of book you want to stay up all night reading because you can't wait to find out what will happen next. Once I finished it, I wanted to read it again. It's been quite a while since I found a book that captivated me like this one. There are a few elements pulled from stories like The Matrix, even Plato's Allegory. Great character and plot development. I just hope Steven Spielberg captures this magic in his film adaptation
