Book Review

The book starts off with Matt being a little boy living with his Keeper, Celia. Celia tells Matt that he cannot go outside because of the monsters, Matt being a young boy believes her. Matt soon discovers that the outside world is not full of monsters, but is quite dangerous. One night Matt had company, but the company left and Matt still wanted to play, leading to him smashing a window and inadvertently ends up cutting himself. He was rushed to a nearby infirmary, and was soon discovered to be the clone of El Patron. This caused fear in those who brought him to the infirmary because El Patron, the one man whom runs and rules the entire country.

I think that this book was great, and quite often surprised me with a turn in scene. I enjoyed reading about Maria and Matt, whom both fall in love. Each character in the book is made separately, each with there own image. I feel that this book deserves a 9/10 rating because of how unique it is. This book will keep you at the edge of your seat, exhilarating, and heart pounding, a book to read over & over. I recommend this book to readers whom enjoy a novel full of adventure.

(Quentin) House of the Scorpion Review

The book begins with Matt, the main character, living with his “mom,” Celia. He has to stay inside his house all day because “monsters” come out at night, and he believes her. One day kids come by the house where Matt lives, and because of the loneliness of not leaving the house for so long, Matt disobeys Celia, and breaks a window to go and play with them. Although the glass cuts Matts feet so the other kids brought him to a infirmary in a mansion. There he found out that he was a clone of El Patron, the most powerful man in the world...

This book was a great novel that often caught me off guard. The characters are perfectly made, and everything is connected quite well. I would give this book a 9/10. This book will leave you clinging for more after just the few first pages, I recommend it to anyone looking for a adventure novel.
