    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

    Thought-provoking.

    Thought-provoking novel. Themes of utopia, freedom, security, choice. I’m using this as a book study with a group of mostly young adults. Similar to Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, but with an elementary/middle school reading level. There is also a movie version, but there are some major differences between the novel and the movie.

    Feel like this was a good book. Read it back in middle school. Watch the movie from what I remember. Does a pretty good job but can’t wait to read the book over again.

  • The book was not in the best of quality

    They write the listing making it look like it’s perfectly fine and then when I got the book it was full of highlights and broken the books spine was coming off.

    My son should review this, but the quality and price was perfect for him to read, highlight, and use for school.
