Naughts and Crosses (the first in the trilogy, also know as Black and White) is fantastic! It is so great, but I don't think it is very popular in the U.S. WHAT A SHAME! Seriously, anyone who hasn't read this book is missing out on something truly special. As a high school library media specialist, I have made it my personal mission to get this book circulating like crazy. I'll let you know how that goes.
Right now I am reading the second book in the trilogy, Knife Edge. Just like the first, it is also completely engrossing, phenomenal, etc. More comments to come after I finish the book.
I had to order the third book, Checkmate, from a bookstore in England. It isn't available through Barnes and Noble or Borders. Hopefully it will soon arrive from "across the pond."
Moral of today's post: You will never achieve self-actualization if you don't read this trilogy. Okay, that's somewhat melodramatic, but seriously, this is a powerful story that everyone should experience.
