House Of The Scorpion Book Review
Imagine. You were brought up to believe that you are like everyone else. One day you realize that you are so much more than a "human", you're livestock, garbage, a clone. A clone? Is this possible? In the land of Opium it is. Opium is a area between Mexico and the United states, it is set in the future, and there is only one leader, El Patron. It's is truly crazy to see how one past memory can completely set your life on a different path. El Patron believes he has a God given right to create clones for his own well being, and in this case, it is Matt. He goes to many tosses and turns, having to think hard about who to trust. What would you do if you were in his situation?
The House of the Scorpion was a tremendous book because when reading the book it was really simple to imagine the characters, setting, and all the major events that happened. It was generally a marvelous book because the writer, Nancy Farmer, has such an ingenious imagination!
I came up with so many questions during the book, and I am glad that by the end I was able to answer them! No matter how great the book was I was really angry during the book about how Matt was treated, it seemed like no one really cared for him besides Tam Lin and Celia. Sometimes I felt as if Maria didn't even care for Matt, she would go back and forth so many ties between Tom and Matt it was hard to tell!
I rate this book 9/10 because of how Tam Lin ended up definitely disappointed me! Other than that the overall book was engaging and stupendous, thus I would recommend this book to anyone who has a immense imagination!

Emiola, thank you for this review and for making such incredible word choices! I appreciated your summary and can really tell that you want to sell this book and get other people to read it.
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to go deeper with your critique, and use more specific details to support your points. For example, why is Farmer's imagination ingenious? What questions did you have, and how were they answered? How would you have ended the novel?
Think bigger and more precise!
Good job!
