I thought it was just okay It seems to have so much potential, but it only skimmed the surface of what it could be with all the events/characters. I'm just waiting to pick up the second book; I'm interested to see where they go next, as I've heard from multiple sources that it is a stronger read.

You are totally right about the first book. I liked it, but it definitely could've been better. I hope you'll like the second one.

Little Brother - Cory Doctorow

I picked this one up after I saw it mentioned in the article on dystopian novels posted to the Hunger Games thread. Some of the more techy scenes went a bit over my head, but I still loved the book. Very relevant to where society is heading, and realistic. Great read

Good idea but we haven't really talked much about the previous books, just wanting the new book
