" This was an amazing book! I couldn't put it down, which is bad because I should be studying for finals. "

" I'll be honest- I didn't finish listening to this book. I was more than halfway through, and I still didn't empathize with any of the characters or care what happened in the story. Dissapointing. "

" This book was recommended to me be one of my teen patrons. It is a terror-thriller which realy makes you think about the possibilities. Some one is poisoning the water and people are getting really sick and some are dying- what can an eclectic group of teenagers do to help? "

" I'm scared to drink water! A terrorist attack targets a public water supply. The story alternates chapters included affected teens and two teen hackers who help figure out what's going on. "

" Love love loved it! Have read it a few times. It gives you the feeling that the events could happen in any town and the characters are really interesting. Gives a nice chill that a good thriller does. "

" Very good thriller dealing with a bio-terrorism plot that is so believable that it made me pause. A lot. "

" Loved this book, but didnt like the language in it. "

" An alternate-universe (maybe?) take on the events after 9/11 and the teenagers and their parents that get swept into a global bio-terrorism plot. It was sweeping enough that I had to start the sequel right away. It isn't quite Cory Doctorow territory, but it is a darn compelling story! "

" I read this book back in 2009, and liked it then; the sequel finally came out this year, so I re-read this and headed on to the sequel. Together, they are a very satisfying, exciting, and terrifying adventure. "

" This exciting ya novel concerns bioterrorism when the water supply is poisoned in one neighborhood of a small town. The villains are testing their technique and are foiled by two brilliant teen computer experts. It's a real page turner with interesting characters and subplots. "

" Biological warfare. "

" Was pretty slow "

" A suspenseful book about biochemical warfare in an American suburban neighborhood that brings new meaning to the words, "don't drink the water." "

" Gotta read the next one! "

" Not really my cuppa. It seemed to be trying to be a character-driven story, but the characters didn't have much to do with each other. I liked the premise, but the more I read, the less I cared. "

" This was written for young adults but I really enjoyed it as an adult. There is some swearing in it but not so much that it ruined the story for me. "

" I know I read this book, I just can't remember what it was about........ *is worried she is losing her mind* "

" I really liked this book but there was too much content and swearing for me to finish it. "

" This is a very exciting book about bioterrorism. It kind of creeped me out, but I couldn't stop reading it. "

" I just couldn't get into this story. This beginning is obviously all about building suspense and fear, but I felt none of those things as I read the opening chapters. I was bored because the storytelling was much too dragged out. "

" This book was okay for the most part. It might be a good recommendation for teenage boys, but otherwise didn't have any outstanding qualities. In particular I wasn't impressed with the ending. "

" love the different view points from the characters "

" I cannot wait to find out how all the plot lines meet up in this story of bio-terrorism and Internet spying! Even though the chapters alternated points of view, it was easy to follow the course of the plot. A very exciting, realistically written YA espionage thriller. "

" Intense until the end! "

" An intense book, and I think I'm ok with it...not sure I like feeling scared like this! "

" Definitely wasn't as good as I thought it would be. "

" A truly excellent novel about some teens who get sick via a terrorist attack on their water. It's the story of four teens in a small suburb and two computer nerds, one from Pakistan, who do everything they can to save those four other teens. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it. "

" Good-but-not-great novel that should appeal to both YA guys and girls. Combines computer hacking, international espionage, and bioterrorism in a plot set six months after 9-11. "

" People are dying in New Jersey while in Pakistan a teen computer genius named Shahzad is working as a virtual spy. This teen tech triller is a suspenseful read. "

" The voices of the characters are clear and fresh. However, about halfway through the book, the addition of Tyler and his background requires the readers to test the limits of their credulity. Overall, this is an exciting read made frightening by how real it seems in this post 9/11 culture. "

" This book was hot and cold for me. Just when one chapter did not capture my attention then the next one sucked me back in. I was a bit disappointed in the ending. I did not feel I got enough closure with the characters. There was just too many questions left unanswered for me. "

" Not really my cuppa. It seemed to be trying to be a character-driven story, but the characters didn't have much to do with each other. I liked the premise, but the more I read, the less I cared. "
