Bar Code Rebellion by Suzanne Weyn

Bar Code Rebellion by Suzanne Weyn


From the Publisher
Kayla has resisted getting the bar code tattoo, even though it's meant forfeiting any chance she'd had at having a normal life. Without the tattoo, she's an exile. But when someone very important sets about to bring her back in again -- WITH a tattoo -- Kayla finds herself a part of the resistence, where her unexpected allies and even more unexpected enemies include three clones of hers.

An edge-of-your-seat, teen's-eye-view thriller that merges the headlines of today with the world of tomorrow.

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I definitely enjoyed this second book much better than the first one.

While this book continues the story of Kayla's stuggle against that Bar Code Tattoo, it also takes a much more interesting science fiction turn with the addition of cloning and nanotechnology to the storyline.

A wonderful read well worth making your way through the first book to get to this one.

There's no option but to run . . . for her life.Indivuality vs. conformity.. Identity vs. access. Freedom vs. control.The bar code tattoo.

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
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.
