Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Brandon's rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Little Brother is about a teenager named Marcus caught in the aftermath of a terrorist attack. San Francisco has been converted into a completely military controlled city. Marcus is arrested, but then released back into the city, but no one will believe his story and his best friend is still imprisoned. Now it's up to Marcus to challenge and bring down the Department of Homeland Security.
I like books that make you think and this is one of them. In Little Brother, San Francisco loses its rights that belongs to every American state, city, and person. This book shows that when those are taken away there isn't much to look forward to. After reading this book, I can say that I have a new appreciation for our freedoms in our country. This book has some cool elements that will be interesting for any teen interested in dystopia, sci-fi, or computers. Marcus is a geeky fun guy that will be hard not to keep reading about. This book deserves 5 stars!
