This is one of those books that is meant for teenagers, but manages to be interesting enough that I still enjoyed it. It is a bit simple and quick-reading, so if you're really picky about your sci-fi, you might want to skip it. However, the premise and pieces of the background story as to what has happened to civilization, people, and how things ended up this way is interesting. The teaching-young-people motives are obvious, but there's a good bit more here than a simple moral hammer.
