While I agree this book is thought-provoking, provides a sense of tension while reading and the well-done dystopian setting still holds up well to this day. I found very little plot progression in the first half, half of the lore provided was easy to guess and I saw the plot twist coming way early. But I still can't be harsh on it as it's pretty well done for its time and the final act has some of the best horrors I can ever find in a book.
