Review by Felix H.
Who would like this book? Boys and girls above 10 years old. It contains controversial material.
The goods on this book: In Los Angeles, California a conspiracy is brewing and the Republic is fighting to snuff it out. A boy named Day, who has amazing agility and intelligence and scored a perfect 1500 out of 1500 in his job-deciding trial is used as a test subject by the republic and left to die. June, a 15 year old girl who also scored 1500, is trained by the republic to become their perfect patriot. But when these two meet, they realize there is something more behind the republic’s facade of perfection and harmony. The main characters are: Day, June, Metias, Thomas and commander Jameson. The conflict is that the republic wants Day to be put down for rebellion.
My opinion of this book is that this book would be perfect for anyone that loves a good dystopian story. I rate it a 10/10.
The details: 305 pages; 2011 Review by Felix H.
