The Misconceiver by Lucy Ferris

This is the only book i have read lately that I was relieved to finish!! It was so jumpy, hopping from one thing to the next and never really explaining parts of interest in any depth. The fact it was set in the future and under an authoritarian society that disallowed any form of abortions, know by the main character as misconceptions, any explanation of the society in which they were living or how it came to fruition were not clearly touched upon. Although I think she was trying to portray the technologically advanced society verses the culturally and politically backward aspect of control I feel it could have been done better and more clear to keep the reading wanting to turn the page. I think this would have given it more substance and made it flow more. Altogether a disappointing read already back in the charity shop for some other victim to purchase!
