The Warehouse was an interesting take on a near future dystopian society, where one company has a monopoly over everything. The concept isn't a particularly fresh one, but I still found it interesting how Cloud was developed as a workplace with living accommodations. I liked the mention of well-known dystopian books and the particular references to The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. I also liked how there was some made up history in the novel with the Black Friday Massacre. For me, the strongest aspect of the novel was the perspectives from characters with different views.

I think this book fell short in making me feel something. I was hoping for a big moment or for me to feel something for the characters, but the big moment never really came (although there were a couple of good little twists) and I didn't end up getting invested in the characters. I also felt like the ending could've been stronger, because while the ending was appropriate, I did end up saying, "that's it?" out loud.
