Nobel prize? Really? Once you figure out the children are clones and are going to be used as body parts for other people, you keep expecting them to fight back. They never do. They walk like lemmings to their deaths without ever trying to stop it. Some false hope is inserted along the way, but never do they fight back. They hope the government will give them an out and it never does. I at least thought maybe the narrator would try to escape at the end after watching her friends and the people she loves die, but she went willingly to her fate. You spend the whole book expecting some kind of action, and none occurs. I spent a precious audible credit on this disappointment of a book and I blame the reviewer who said that this book was the best book they had ever read. What kind of hopeless, weak soul would love this book? Why would this win any prizes? Do the award winners think that people should walk obediently to their death no matter what the government does to them?
