Customer Reviews

Wow!

This was a great book. It is set on a futuristic earth, devastated by a nuclear war. Humans live only underground, and most life has disappeared. People are controlled as if they are puppets. The government produces nearly identical people with identical thoughts and minds. Then, Andra gets a brain graph from a boy who died in 1987. Suddenly, she starts to see things that he saw, and remember what he remembered. She realizes that the life she leads is not free at all. This haunting book is a wonderful example of science fiction. I highly reccomend this book to anyone and everyone.

Andra

Man, I loved this book. A nuclear holocaust has made the surface of the planet uninhabitable, so the survivors have been forced to move underground. These underground communities are in an almost constant state of war with one another, and their rules are becoming more and more encroaching. In a future where everyone looks the same and art is edited, the only hope for survival is to go to the stars, and the only way to survive the stars is Andra.

The best book

I found this book very good. It takes place way in the future were the world & it's socity it very different. Andra, the main character becomes blind & docters have to relpace that part of her brain with the brain of a young boy from 1987 in order for her to live in socity. Andra, begans to see things that the boy saw like cows, trees, ect. See also see's what it was like in 1987, were your IQ did not decided how long you would live. I can't tell u to much more because it would ruin it for u. It is a great book though & I would highly recemend for any one.

my FAVORITE book

This is the most creative, enchanting book I've ever read. The non-stop intrique drove me to the end before I thought I'd even started this delightful adventure about an unusually strong-willed girl driven by a new vision to improve life for human kind in a dark, futuristic, underground world. It's your loss if you don't read it.

Good Book

I read this book and it was awesome. This book takes place 2000 years into the future when people have moved under ground because the surface is no longer inhabitible for man kind. It is about a girl, named Andra, who has a brain graft and the brain they used is from a boy who died in 1987. She soon starts to see the world through the eyes or that boy, and realizes that life in the confines of Sub City One is not free. So she gets all the youth together and they start an open rebellion against the director of the city. It is a very good book
