This is a good book for teenagers. It's geared toward their interests, and teaches the pitfalls of conformity.

This wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. it's a great theme to go on, but the main character seemed to grow more ignorant as the book went on. I was also expecting more of a twist to the bar code than what was actually "hiding" in its information.

I absolutely could not put this book down. It was full of cliffhangers and excitement. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked the Hunger Games.

This book was a little hard to read. The characters were a little bland, the plot was not very interesting, and the writing was decent. I'm actually a fan of Suzanne Weyn, so I really wanted to like this book, but it didn't really do it for me. :/ I'm going to finish the series, and I hope it gets better.

I have to say that his book made me cry. Not of sadness, but out of boredom. This book is a generic dystopian novel that revolves around Kayla, a girl who depends solely on the views and opinions of the "supporting" characters in the book. This makes the book particularly excruciating to read because the book is entirely based on challenging authority. How can someone challenge authority, if they don't have any opinions for themselves? Kayla therefore depends on the opinions of her "boyfriend" who (surprise, surprise) betrays her. And what does she do after? She has a big life realization that this guy who was in the book the entire time is now her soulmate for life, and uses his opinions for her own. Overall, if I had the ability, I would give this book a 1/2 star.

This was more of a nostalgia read than anything. I read this book back in middle school and I found it again in a used bookstore. Its so crazy how sci fi books tend to always have a hint of reality. Especially when it dealt with art becoming computerized
