Boring. Flat. Some of the description was unneeded and even at times unwanted. It slowed it down. The pace of the story leaves much to be desired. Don't explain so much. Just show us how thigns are. Don't explain the who socio-economic situation of the nation. It's an Ugly 1st person pov. You should try to achieve a better more fastly paced stream of conciouness.

Also. Since when did rolling of the eyes become a univeral symbol of exasperation.
