Although depressing and places a very realistic fear that our current politics will lead us to the world seen in this novel, this is a fantastic book worth multiple re reads. I love the idea that the main character's version of god is Change and I find myself agreeing to her beliefs. It's thought provoking and I know that if I wasn't in such a rush to finish this book then I would really let the material marinate with my own thoughts. Perhaps in my next re read, I will have time for marination. I just know that this is a book that I will pick back up again at a different age with new thoughts and opinions.
