I wasn't really wanting to read the second book as I've been reading too many dystopian books that are trilogies.  I didn't realize this was a trilogy set and when I found that out, I was bummed because I just wanted to read one book that had a beginning-middle-end and didn't continue into two more books.

I preferred the first book to this book.  Haven't started the third book as I read "The Giver" instead.
