I didn't like this book for several reasons. I think the post-apocalyptic dystopian novel has been done much better (and with nearly identical plot) many times before. The author also kept me at arm's length from the characters, I think because of the formality of his prose. The book seemed mannered, self-conscious, and pedestrian all at once. I found the characters likable enough but not compelling.
