I really didn't care about this novel. Gray is perfectly acceptable as a protagonist, but hardly remarkable in any way, even as the love triangle tries its hardest to characterize him. I hardly remember any of the supporting cast as well, aside from the soft, sweet girl who Gray initially goes steady with and the prickly girl who he transfers his love to--because he wants to hurt the first girl who "betrayed" him by sleeping with someone else when she thought he was dead. This smacks of a convoluted and unhealthy relationship. The potential for solid world-building there, and it most likely will be expanded upon in the next novels of this trilogy. However, Taken is standard dystopian-fare with a straightforward plot and a lack of truly enjoyable characters. Not recommended.
