           Great dystopian book, Eve (get counseller) has to be my favourite character, cant wait to read more abt Isaac and Max in the second book, finished on a cliffhanger of isaac being taken away after he confessed, kept me reading and scenes went on quickly, based in England I think,

It took quite a while for me to get used to the writing style in Cell 7, it seemed to be written in a few different tenses which felt a tad messy at times. It was spilt into 7 sections (one for each cell) which I did enjoy and within those sections it was divided between various points of views. One of the POV's was a description/script of a reality TV show. I felt as though there was too much description in these sections causing it to not flow very well as the dialogue (which I did enjoy) was broken up a lot. It was also very repetitive, which I think was consciously done but I found myself skimming it every now and then. 

The plot on the whole was unique but for some reason I didn't feel myself getting pulled into the story. I didn't feel much for the characters or their relationships. I also found it quite predictable. 

Despite all of this, I don't think it was bad at all. It was unique and thought provoking message but for some reason I just wasn't that interested. 
I do think I would have loved this had I read it a few years ago! It was a fast paced, easy read and I think there will be people who enjoy this a lot more than I did and rightfully so!

I'm so disappointed that I didn't love this as I was so excited to pick it up. It sounded unique and intriguing and it was those things, yet for some reason it unfortunately didn't really capture my attention.
