ali556 's review for:
The House of the Scorpion
by Nancy Farmer
Truly a great book. I found it hard to put down, and strangely deceiving. I found myself constantly checking the book chapters wondering if he really was going to die at age 14, and if he was, why was there more? Is he going to go crazy as Tom knowingly teased? The main character Matt also made me root for him as well as frustrated for him due to the prejudice against him. When Maria and him say "I love you" I wanted to cheer and cry at the same time. An amazing book and compelling read.
