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.

one strength and one weakness of the book.
One strength that the book has is that its very good by how Matt struggles to understand some things about him being a clone and his existence.
One weakness that the book has was that if you don't read it straight then some things might get confusing.
But overall I loved the book and would read it again and again.

This book was very well thought out. It had you guessing what happens next in every chapter. Filled with twist and turns around every corner. It is one of the best books I have ever read.

I believe this is a wonderful book. It was a thrill to read. The more you read of the book more you like it.

The House of the Scorpion
All people will enjoy this book because there is a bit of romance, lots of adventure and action, and tons of suspense. It is an unique book because normal science fiction books are either utterly unrealistic, violent, or just plain confusing. However, this book grasps the reader firmly and does not let he/she go until the reader finishes the book and will feel truly satisfied. The reader is definitely glued to the book. This book gives you a true understanding of life, even though the setting of the book is in the future. The reader can easily relate to the situations in the book...although not directly. The reader will have to read behind the words, infer, and make tons of predictions. This book is one of the best books ever written!
