Again. I managed to stop reading for three weeks. The problem lies in not picking up a new book the same day I finish one. Once a couple days pass without selecting my next project, I become lazy and fall into the black hole of illiteracy. For the record, I did decide on my next escape from reality, so you should see me back here shortly, not a month from now!
Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother, visited our school last month, and even though I missed his talk, I've heard great things about his writing, so I borrowed this book from my friend Kate. A "rousing tale of techno-geek rebellion" captures it perfectly. This is the story of a group of teenagers who, in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on San Francisco, decide to fight The Department of Homeland Security because they feel they, the innocent victims, are having their constitutional rights stripped. Being treated like terrorists inspires these kids to fight back and protect the Bill of Rights.
Totally cool book. Definitely held my interest, though a little drawn out. I'm not a "techno-geek" but still loved the book. Some of the tech talk can be confusing but you don't need to understand it to enjoy this read.
