I didn't really like this. It felt stilted and forced, but it did have a good moral purpose and direction. The story didn't really go anywhere, it was about the experience of the main character rather than elucidating the mystery of what the experiment she was in was. My main beef with this was that it was marketed to me as some sort of new literary masterpiece, which I don't think it was. If this were marketed to me as a racially aware beach read type of book, I'd give it five stars.
