's review

really liked it
bookshelves: mark-harmon, dysto-teque, and-so-this-is-grad-school

oops, i accidentally liked this book. i swear it was unintentional. i was all set to hate it, especially after greg's review (which to be fair, was less about hating the book and more about hating the people this book might be hoping to educate) the wariness i had about it being in kidcode teenspeak was unnecessary - it was like reading clockwork orange or irvine welsh or anything else in dialect. i thought it was going to be written in contemporary teentalk, which is retarded, but if it's made-up speculative teen-ese, its less annoying. weird, right? if you want to read a good review of the book, read greg's, because all i am going to say is - the moon sucks, i totally agree. and they have a filet mignon park with a steak labyrinth. you can't have a dystopia with a steak labyrinth, because it sounds too much like heaven. and as the only person without an i-pod, cell phone, blackberry, or watch, i can now say i am "resisting the feed"!! but i never would.

Greg you so lie, you do have a watch, you just broke the band and then the battery died. It's quite a cool watch too if I can praise a gift I gave you.

Jasmine I have a cell phone and an ipod, although I was given the ipod under duress. I think they are a waste of money especially since other mp3 plays cost about a third of what they cost.


karen okay i will amend that. i have a watch i havent worn in 4 years. i fixed the band though... i just need a battery now...


Mykle i have a chip in my neck so my dog can find me if i get lost.

Is that REALLY your Dad? You have a Dad on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ who has Calibos as an avatar??

My Dad is too busy reading Ann Coulter books and clipping coupons for toilet paper to do anything cool.

Happy Father's Day, Karen's Dad.


karen my dads pretty cool. he also cooks like a motherfucker. but, yes, he too loves coupons. very very organized coupons.

Dave Russell Does that mean your grandmother is Thetis?


karen hahaha yeah i guess so! such a family tree... but, daddy, this means you are going to have to live up to this reputation you are acquiring for being "cool", and actually sit down and rate some books or i might have to stop getting them for you...

Michael Thanks David. Yes I am Karen's Dad. I confess.

Did you use the adjective "retarded" just to get my vote? 'Cos it worked!


karen hahahaaah no! i wish i had remembered that!! it was just the appropriate word!


Regine The steak labrynth was quite comical. Still hate the book though.


karen i was surprised that i liked it. but i did, i really did...


Sandra Darn. I forgot about the Filet Mignon Park. I might have to go back to 4 stars. I was waffling. But the steak labyrinth was the only part I found too bizarre to enjoy.


message 26: by Ryan (new) - rated it 5 stars
