The ending wasn't surprising or satisfying, but happily-ever-afters and dystopian horror don't play well together. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. William 790-6 (57th iteration) is a clone; one of the billions of clones that make up the population of Earth. The beginning of the novel is a bit gruesome with the discussion of the deaths of other Williams; it ends a bit gruesomely as well.It also makes the reader wonder, as the story unfolds, and as Will 790 moves into uncharted territory, if there is more going on than any of the Wills ever realize. In this, we get to see Kozeniewski's depth as an author, as he is able to switch genres with aplomb.

It was only after reading that I considered how boring this book should have been since all the characters are essentially the same. If you love anything about cloning, the theoretical future of our society, how the world could be – then read this book. Willa is just the well-read virgin who waits in her room while her father and Billy make all the important decisions.

It's a classic dystopian novel where through a set of ridiculous accident Will survives his required termination after 1 years and begins to develop his own identity. I can't really look in depth at the characters in this book as it was really only the one character many times, but I loved the choice of 'William' to be the clone.Honestly, it was probably a real challenge to come up with nuanced voices that all sound very similar and yet can remain distinct in a conversation.
