I thought that this book was really good. I cried in two parts. When bean gets sick and when Ryter gets dragged around with the jet bike. I would have to say that if anyone likes fiction books that they will love this book.

I think this is a really good book and that it makes you look back and feel good that we have green grass and blue skies and that we can have freedom unlike how it was in the future the book.

I loved the book I gave it a 7 because at sometime it was very difficult to understand and confusing but don't get me wrong it was an awesome book.

I liked this book and it kept me guessing the whole time I read it. I think that I am the guy whose last resort is to read a book and even with me I couldn't put this book down so everyone should read this book.

I read this book in 6th grade and I loved it!! I am now an 8th grader and recommending it to anyone who's interested. This story is very interesting! I even cried at the end. I have about 3 copies of it. I've probably read it 1000 times. I think it is the BEST book in the Universe!!!!!

I read this book in my English 4 class (Seniors 2004!). My teacher Mrs.Head introduced us to the book. And I'm glad she did! This is one of my favorite books now! It kept me and the class at the edge of our seats wanting to read just one more chapter before class was let out.

I really enjoyed seeing what the future would be like if everyone stopped reading and plugged into computer games too much.
Jane K., Age 13

We thought this book was good. The best parts were the mind probes and takvees. The guy who led our book group was a maniac, but we'd still recommend this book to anyone.
