Jan’s Review
Ethan is our main character in a society that once you turn 16 your given your position in a sector of society. I got a clearly divergent and/or giver vibe to this book. As in your not really sure what your job really is but since it the way it always been you just go along with it. Ethan gets a position in a sector he was not at all expecting to get in fact it one his best friend has dreamed. His friend gets some low life sector job and Ethan gets the high road.
Things are so regulated in this society that Ethan does not even know that the nightmares he been experiencing are dreams. He confides in his new boss who starts giving him injections which have weird side effect such as being able to read a thousand pages in a few hours.
The pacing of the story was steady and the interweaving of the various characters make it an enjoyable sci-fi read. If your into dystopian societies that are completely different from our own Awaken is just the one for you.
