Nonostante personalmente preferisco The Giver, devo ammettere che comunque anche questo non è da meno.
Ambientato più o meno in uno stesso futuro dove l'umanità è caduta in rovina a causa delle tante guerre, in puro stile distopico.
Il libro si legge davvero bene, non si riesce a smettere, in questo l'autrice è stata proprio brava.
Lo consiglio.
