The Bar Code Prophecy, by Suzanne Weyn
2.0
I think Weyn should have stopped with the Bar Code Rebellion. This book didn't make much sense and didn't tie any loose ends from the first one. Some of it was quite a stretch. Hopi prophecies that predict the Bar Code Tattoo disaster? Maybe the kids that read these books will make that leap, but I couldn't. I literally rolled my eyes.
I didn't like that Grace so readily accepted Decode's explanation after fighting it so long. It didn't fit into her "don't buck the system" attitude. And the most popular boy in school is all of a sudden on assignment to look out for her? I ended up asking more questions that were answered. During the last few chapters, I kept telling myself there must be another book coming. There's no way it will end with only a few pages left.
But it did.
And it was way too tidy and way too vague.
The Bar Code prophecy had similar action and characters as the first two, but there are lots of loopholes that leave more confusion than anything.
