SNBTAS Book Review Kyle =Kyle-Feed= =[|Summary from Good Reads]= //Brave New World// takes a romantic teen twist in this disarming, engrossing novel set in a hyper-computerized future. Spending time partying on the moon and riding around in his "upcar," Titus is an average teen of the future, complete with a computer chip implant -- the "Feed" -- that lets corporate marketers and government agencies broadcast directly into his brain. Then Titus meets Violet, and an anti-Feed hacker shuts down their Feeds for a short time; but when Violet's Feed is seriously damaged, she begins spouting some radical ideas. M. T. Anderson has predicted the future, and it's startling indeed. Although Titus is a good, well-meaning kid, his blissful ignorance of the control over him leaves readers thinking twice about the destiny of earth's citizens. Beneath the book's techno-veneer, however, lies a romantic tale between a boy who gives into the system and a girl who sees beyond it. All told, //Feed// is a "meg" remarkable work of science fiction, and once readers begin, they'll be caught up in its powerful grip. //Matt Warner//

Commentary
I really liked this book a lot. The mood of the teenagers was set perfectly. The author M.T. Anderson is a really great writer. I loved how he related to me and how I hang out with my friends. Even though the setting is in the future and they do other stuff, it still made sense that I do the same things. I like the warning he gives throughout the book and it really made me think about the kind of life we live in today, and how the media really does affect us. The storyline was a little confusing but the ending was my favorite part. It really hit me especially what Violet's father says. I would recommend this book to anyone as long as they don't mind the swearing.

Sexual Content- PG-13, suggestive but nothing happens Swearing- R, says the F-word every other page Violence -PG, really no violence at all Alcohol and Drugs - R, lots of Drugs and Alcohol use =Overall grade 4 1/2 stars

= Dakota =Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins= Summary from goodread.com Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

= review. =

I really liked this book once I got into it. It took a while but I got it. I do not like how they did things there though, I would want to pick my own life and what I do. I would not want to be told that I have to be a street sweeper or a scholar, Well a scholar would not be a bad one but if I was not smart it would suck. Equality is just out to do great things and he cant show anyone because they think he is different because he is smart and because he is taller then the other boys, he is just not the same. Witch is way bad to them, and he knows that it is not a good thing, but trully it is. I think that the book has a good story behind it but I just was not into it. Other people loved it. so it is all up too you.
