HUTT

by Bernadette Martin

Anna is a bright, inquisitive seventeen year old girl living in the country formerly known as the United Stated of America.

Growing up Anna's been taught that being brave will only get you killed, and that conformity is the key to survival. Reluctantly Anna conforms to the program until one day, she discovers that everything she thought she knew was a lie.

Forced to make a heart wrenching decision, Anna must choose to stay in the HUTT and face possible death or flee, leaving behind the only family she's ever known in search of something that may not even exist.

I thought the story was interesting. I wondered though, if the thoughts and language coming from the characters flushed well with their respective ages. Is Anna really smart, or just more aware because she has a caretaker who's a part of the old government? So much detail went into the HUTT and buildings and how things were run which was good because I love detail, but I didn't necessarily feel the same about Anna's descriptions of herself, or her friends through her eyes. At 16 I was boy crazy and could talk about all the little details I saw and liked! Glad to see later in the story some of that emotion and vision was flushed with her feelings towards Hunter, but I wanted a little more. I also wondered about the main characters vocabulary. Seemed all relatively simple, not complex, which I felt could have made Anna seem like a more intelligent, strong character. At the same time, it made me wonder if the community seemed so simple because OF the HUTT and their possible deliberate lack of education to keep people blind to the bigger picture...it could go either way. I thought it was a fairly quick read, and will definitely want to see what happens next and how time passes by.

Very enjoyable book, several plot twists made it a great read. Characters came across as real and were easy to relate to. The author did a great job giving the reader the sense of emotions each character was experiencing. Great descriptions, I felt like I was in the HUTT - can't wait to read the next book in the series.
