The bar code tattoo. Everybody's getting it. It will make your life easier, they say. It will hook you in. It will become your identity.
But what if you say no? What if you don't want to become a code? For Kayla, this one choice changes everything. She becomes an outcast in her high school. Dangerous things happen to her family. There's no option but to run...for her life.
Individuality vs. conformity.
Identity vs. access.
Freedom vs. control.

My 91st read of 2007.
You know, the things going on in this book are not that far-fetched. It's going to be a scary world if any of that stuff comes to pass. I got a little frustrated with the overuse of the terms "banged out" and "final level", but for the most part the book was an okay read. I already have the sequel, so I'll go ahead and read it to see what happens with Kayla and Mfumbe.
Oh, and if you want your own bar code, check out this website. Apparently, I'm worth $6.57! LOL

Heading out to wss4!
This book arrived today. Thanks so much Ellymae. I am really looking forward to reading it since my dd has given it such a wonderful recommendation. I am finding that she has good taste in books.
This is a very interesting look into a possible future. Many of the things in this book are things that we are faced with in right now in society. So much so that this book has a ring of possibilities to it. Thought provoking.
As for the story itself, it was just okay. I found the concept interesting but the writing was not great for me. Too many things just happened out of the blue to make it realistic. The turn that the book takes towards psychic ability, while it is an interesting concept, seems out of place. Just another on of those things that happens too convieniently in this book.
I will read the next book just to see how it all works out, since these are quick reads.
