" I really liked how this book was set in the future and all of the technology was different. I think that because the story is taking place in the future I was intrigued more by the content and the actual plot within it. I liked Violet and Titus's connection because it was different than other teenage connections shown in many books. This book was not simply a love story, it had more to it that added depth. I finished it in one day, which shows that it was a good read. "

" The audio version of this book was very well done! I was surprised to find out after I "read" the book that it was printed in '04 (or something like that.) It was so scary on where the future seems to be headed. For me, this was a very unique premise. I really didn't like the main character, Titus (not sure we are supposed to), but I was so curious/worried about Violet that not finishing the book wasn't an option for me. "

" Pointless "

" I like science fiction, but thought some of it was over the top. "

" I liked the book over all, but the weird wording was hard for me to follow at times. I really liked the concept of the book. It was a good look at the way computers can interfere with our lives in the future. "

" You read the book your background brings you to, not necessarily the book the author wrote. I read the discussion guide in my edition of this novel and notice that it focuses on the setting rather than what I read as the main plot arc: how the main character reacts to disability and death within the context of the setting. Unfortunately, I think the setting, while appropriate for 2002 and its concerns, has aged poorly. "

" Brilliant! And it has one of my all-time favorite 1st lines. "

" I'm kind of stumped for words right now. If you don't feel anything after reading this book, then I think you're already gone. "

" I enjoyed the novelty of this story and found the ending to be very tragic. "

" Depressing book. Very intelligent satire. "

" I'm sure it s not fair to rate a book I haven't finished, but the fact I couldn't t finish it must say something, right? I couldn't get past the futuristic teen slang, and I found the characters to be shallow and.completely unlikeable. "

" This passed my swear word tolerance level by like the fourth page and since I had found nothing else redeemable about it at all by that point, I quit. "

" I usually love dystopia novels, but this just didn't cut it for me... I got really bored, really fast. I guess I just like books I can't put down, and I kept waiting for this book to get to that point - and all I got was disappointed.. "

" Great idea for a story. "

" Interesting take on how media consummerism is taking control. I like the world that you came up with! Looking forward to more! "

" Was a really good book because of the large amounts of discussion topics and how much creativity is packed into this book. Amazing job! "

" really emotional ending "

" I couldn't get past the writing and the language to get beyond tthis book. he first 20 pages of this book. "

" Great book for lit circles concerning thinking /media literacy. "

" All three of us have been listening to this in the car - a scary, engrossing view of the future, with the interweb directly fed into your brain and most of society vacuous and only concerned with the next hair style, which seems to change hourly. The US president is made to seem like George W. Bush. "

" I couldn't stand the futuristic slang at first but the underlying message made this novel a quick and rewarding read. "

" Hey, pretty great, M.T. Anderson. You did a good job of portraying a real jerk. "

" A good young adult story. "

" Fun and interesting read. Couldn't help thinking about a world like the one in this book...very bizarre. "

" Best as an audio book! "

" Read this years ago. Don't think we're too far away from this now . . . "

" Very...interesting to say the least. There were some extremely good, thought-provoking ideas in here, but the writing style and characters kinda threw me off. I don't remember really <em>liking</em> anyone in here...with maybe the exception of the girl's (can't remember her name right now) dad. "

" A young adult variation on a growing SF theme--how far will advertising go in the future? What if it is &quot;fed&quot; directly into our brains, and how will that affect our culture? Good stuff. "

" Sure it's YA, but this might be the best thing I've read this year. There's a lot of George Saunders in here (I can't help wondering if he studied under Saunders at Syracuse) but in some ways I think he hit some of the notes better than Saunders does. Heartbreaking and very well done. "
