Oh man, I JUST THIS INSTANT finished this book! And let me tell you, I was EXTREMELY impressed. I was terrified that it was gonna end on a bad note... but, it was compiled QUITE wonderfully :D Full of suspense and all those wonderful things that keep ya nailed to a book like crazy. I started it no more than a month ago, and would have had it done sooner if I hadn't been so busy. IT WAS AWESOME tho. It makes me want to start another book about where things go from then. :D I feel that the author really captured the main characters emotions quite well. And she reverted back to his memories often to support "WHY" he felt the way that he did, which was a wonderful plus to me. I will admit that I DID find it hard at times to understand why characters like the 8 year old Fidelito sounded as though he were MUCH older. However, I reminded myself that children are DIFFICULT to write, and perhaps, in the future, everyone is a bit more educated. (As you can tell I am NOT hahaha) Although I am a writer.

This book made me get a bit more intrested in reading. I liked this book because it holds you off on the tip of your teeth until the very end... Agree? I also would recommend this book to any reader that likes a "roller coaster ride" of a story, because this story has it's ups, down. I rate this book ... A 5 / 5 ... Enjoy!

This book is great!!!! It makes you realize that that is how our future could end up being like it is crazy i hate reading and this book i read one page of this book and was hooked totally recomend it

You would think i only like this book because the main character and i same the same name, matteo, but this book has deep concept that really will touch the readers heart and mkae you think in a different way.

among the many books i have read, this is one of the few that i wish i could relate and feel for the charactors. this heart felt story is magnificently written and is understanably true and i only hope that miss farmer will hear our calls and create a sequel. i will be waiting
