Awesome book!
This book was flipping awesome! I couldn't wait to get home the next day to finish it after school!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Sarah Bendorf
The Cloning Issue
This book was amazing! I highly recommend it to anyway looking for a good read and deep thought. This book made me take a serious look at cloning and how it is actually viewed in our world today. Even if you aren't highly motivated to read for the thought provocation, it's an exciting story, full of action, and an easy read. I read this book while I was just a freshman and again as a senior and encouraged all of my friends and family to read it immediately.

wat the fudge?
This book is one of the books that get you to say wow look at what a powerful man can do to get himself to be that old. You know what i mean? Well I thought that this book is an ok book I really like the main character Matt. He has a good way of doing things not like his owner El Patron.

i loved this book, its very funny, but sad at the same time. it took me a whole 6 hrs to read this book, it was so good, i just didn't want to set it down. i cant stop reading it now, i read it over and over. i'm hoping nancy farmer will make a second book, im dying to know what happens to matt and maria .... for now i just dream it up. =P

house of the scorpion
This book was very boring , very confusing, and very dull. Out of all the books I have read this one may be the worst one yet! Teachers please do not read this too the kids if you want them to stay awake!!!!
