This had a lot to say, and I tried to soak it all up. I can't believe this was written 30 years ago and how close it is to real world stuff that is happening today. It's kind of crazy that I decided to pick this book up in the year it starts in! I've always enjoyed the dystopian genre. With how much it puts a light on humanity and all the good, bad, and ugly that can come of a fallen society. 

I absolutely loved the writing and how much I was invested in following the story with these amazing characters. It's definitely a new favorite.
