About this book

This book is AWESOME. A story of a man fighting to free himself from dystopia as in Brave New World and 1984. However, the story is much tighter and exciting than in either of these books. Many twists and turns, all the way to the end. You are in good hands with Ira Levin. He's a master storyteller and a sure hand at suspense, character and dialogue. Enjoy.
