I'm thirteen and I like to read a variety of books. I'm glad I read this one. It was for a project. I looooooooooooved this Nancy Farmer book. I always have.And whoever doesn't like this book and says it is "misleading" must be too simple to really understand it. Muy excellente!

The House Of The Scorpion was the best book i have ever read out of millions that i have already read. The characters were impresionante!!!! I was blown away with the book, it really made me think "What if." This book has been a huge treat for me to read. ¡Algún tiempo yo deseo que el libro fuera verdadero, y podría ser uno de los caracteres! !!!! Some times in a book like this one you dont want it to stop, I didn't!!! After i had read the book i felt like ¡Por qué puede no este libro dura apenas para siempre y nunca jamás la parada! The way Nancy drew you into the story, it was like wow!! The book kind of made me think about things in the future. Nancy im so happy you wrote this book!! ¡Gracias tan tanto Nancy su el MEJOR! !!! Thank you so much Nancy for with wonderful book you have brought to us!!

Tjis is simply the kind of book that you cont stop reading... i've never read a book over 200 pages, let alone in a day!!!

The title is misleading. But once you start reading you cant seem to stop! this book is awesome!

I loved this book. It tells a lot about friendship and how that is important. It also tells us not to judge someone because it is different from us. Like Matt, he was a clone, and he was treated really badly. Anyone who wants to read a heart stopping advenure and fiction book, should read this book .It is the best book in the world.
