The "Flatness"
For me at least the flatness of the writing was brilliant. The children, the outsiders and some of their guardians were also emotionally sedated or flattened. When I read the book I found my own reactions, to a situatuion that had it occured in real life would horrify me, flat, sedated and clinically reserved. As I read the book I felt like an objective non-connected observer and I believe that was reflective of how the children were meant to be seen, since they were merely donors and not "fully normal".
Just my two cents.
