I love this book! It is a very frightening view of ultimate government control where "The Society" makes your choices for you and while they promise you a better life, there is always an underlying threat. They manipulate, use propaganda and keep nasty little secrets. The people believe in it because they are afraid not to. They have even selected 100 history lessons that are allowed, 100 songs, 100 poems, etc., and obliterated everything that does not serve their purpose. This first in the series wraps up well enough, but will leave you wanting to know what happens next.
