![]() ![]() ![]() He knew I was trying to increase my bookishness a notch or two and was only trying to be helpful. Once upon a time years and years ago, my brother came up to me excitedly to share a book recommendation. Is the school making robots/androids to look like real people, hoping to replace the real people without others noticing? What is the purpose of making them and testing them? What I liked: the Variant or "V" group does seem to care about one another Benson does think for himself rather than just go with the easiest route or the majorityWhat I didn't like: no one but Benson seems to question why they can't leave (are they just beaten down by the fate of others who tried? Are they scared by the stories? Are they easily led by the robots/androids who are probably programmed to talk others out of trying to escape?) the Society and Havoc groups seem to be less caring about others Benson does seem to be a bit self-absorbed (he wants to escape, and I can't blame him, but sometimes he doesn't consider what consequences his actions will have on others Read more There are too many unanswered questions for my taste. Since this book has high schoolers as its main characters, I'm not sure what a high schooler would think about it.The ending is unsatisfying. ![]() This book is probably intended for the middle school aged reader-maybe for a high school age reader but I read somewhere that kids normally like to read about characters a little older than they are. ![]()
