Have I mentioned how handsome my cat is? Top Ten: Homeland by Cory Doctorow Sequel to Little Brother. Whistleblowing, kidnapping by government agents, peaceful protests aided by technology, nerdy activism, the “War on Terror,” and Burning Man. This book is perfect. Very brief review here. Raptur...
This was almost a 5 star book. I loved it in a devour in one sitting way. Except for the ending. First off, I thought it was a bit rushed and abrupt. I wanted more time for the characters leading up to Knox's death and then some kind of wrap up afterwards for Syd. I've since learned that this may ...

It is perfectly paced, with an amazing concept that really leaves an emotional affect with the reader. An all around epic read for any fan of actio...

Really loved this one. Think M.T. Anderson's FEED meets Lloyd Alexander's THE BLACK CAULDRON, with some queer content thrown in. I like a dystopia where tonally it seems exactly like the world we live in. Good pacing, realistic characters, killer ending that gives a satisfying conclusion to the stor...
Actual rating: 3.5Poor Sydney Carton. He's got a hard Knox life. Yes, I wrote this entire review just so I could work "hard Knox life" into it somehow.Remember reading The Whipping Boy in grade school? Remember how much you hated the fact that life could be so unfair? Well, get ready to be even more...
