April 26, 2002: This book is the best book I ever read. The people of this 'community' suppose to live in a perfect world. Everything is watched , they cannot lie. No one knows anything about snow, sunshine, color, love, or even loss. Everything is the Sameness, even their birthday. This book is very interesting with lots of imagination!
