Now that I have read this book all the way through, I have to say this is now my favorite book ever. The way it is written alone just makes it such a good book. The descriptions are pretty good, and he writes with a great flow. The themes he uses also kick ass because this can either be interpreted as a science fiction novel or a synopsis of the Vietnam War.
The plot of the book is great as well. There is so much darkness and unhappiness throughout the book but it still manages to have an upbringing and awesome ending. This is probably the only novel I would consider reading again. I'm really glad I bought it. Its just such an amazing book.
It has the perfect amount of maturity in it too. It isn't too gory most of the time and it isn't overly sexual like brave new world, although Haldmen does use a lot of themes from that book. Such as saying o brave new world, using conditioning to describe behavior modification, and the clone society at the end. But I digress... this novel is completely awesome and EVERYONE should read it at some point.
