I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoy reading about alternate realities, and this one certainly is intriguing. Despite the government's insistence that they're trying to create a more peaceful world, clearly they have no problems with using extreme violence trying to maintain it. And obviously even with the threat of this violence the human spirit, and love has still overcome. Kind of. I enjoyed Lena's journey from being a scared girl who was counting down the days until her procedure, to the scared girl who was willing to give up everything for Alex and a chance to live a life with feelings. One of the most tragic things about this entire story was the idea that after the procedure (which is never described in detail, but I believe to be very similar to a lobotomy) the citizens lose the ability to love, and feel emotional pain. So any infected people will instantly "be okay" after they're cured. But it's still there. The hurt. It's just that they can't feel it. There's an empty emotion there they can't feel. A few times the author describes conversations others have with Lena where they're reassuring her things will be okay after she's cured, that they were like her once, but they're fine now. Happier. They're always staring off into space, looking everywhere but at her. The way people do when they talk about something sad, or when someone they loved died. It wasn't necessarily Lena's, or her mothers, or anyone else's story that really moved me. It was the way that these people all believed they were actually okay. Even with the "few incidents" of people who aren't okay. I did not care for the flowery way this story was told, though. I felt like the narrative was more appropriate for a movie setting. Often Lena would lapse into experiences from her past, or memories, or gratuitous descriptions of random things. I understand what the author was trying to do. She was trying to create depth and emotion. And I think she did a very good job of that. However, the pace at which the story moved was far too slow for me to appreciate these moments, and instead of feeling tangible emotion, I felt frustration. The ending was abrupt. Very, very abrupt. But I did like it. I understood why Alex did what he did. He loved Lena, and he wanted her to escape. In a way he believed she deserved to escape more than he did. Her mother was out there, she was so new to LIFE and he wanted her to be able to go on without him. It was a beautiful ending. Even if he did die.
