Noughts and crosses is the first book of four in what is by all accounts a critically acclaimed series set in a 'racist dystopia'. From the reviews of it online I gather that the book follows two childhood friends from different [antagonistic] sects of society who fall in love and [by virtue of the falling] end up endangering themselves. I'm looking forward to reading this book [especially since all the reviews I've come across so far seem extremely favorable] but I'm also wondering what could possibly be said about this subject [in this format/with this premise] that hasn't been said before..
