Kris: Well, we all know that the covers don't necessarily reflect the story in the book. I don't remember if the standards were different in different cities. Wonder if that's addressed in the other books in the series?

FarmlaneBooks: Oh I'll be watching for your review - hope you like it. I thought the concept and his 'society' were quite interesting.

Alison: exactly - loved that and good stuff for YA's to consider.

Miri: I don't remember that episode, but will have to see if I can find it.

I thing I thought was interesting..is that they are all made to look the same so that there isn't racism...and yet the girl on the cover is Caucasian. lol! I just thought it was interesting...can't remember if the book mentioned those in other cities being of different skin color or not, I seem to think the book mentioned that they had the same skin color.
