House Of The Scorpion book review Glenn

HOUSE OF THE SCORPION BOOK REVIEW

To start off you start this book with a sort of prolog were it talks about the people that clone it is interesting but I do not thing that it is needed because it never talks about  the characters in that chapter again.  After that you go through a kind of story that is filled with mystery, deception, death, betrayal and even a little romance.  The main characters are Matt, El Patròn, and Maria these are the most important characters in plot development.  In the book Matt is a clone of of El Patròn the leader of a massive country called Opium and guess what the main and mostly only businesses in that country is selling drugs who knew.  I do not want to go into to much depth because then that will make to many spoilers.

In my opinion this book is rather boring it has to much plot development which is good but when you have the massive amount that House of the Scorpion does it is hard to keep track of the many developments in the book.  The story is good but I think that they way the author (Nancy Farmer) set up the book she could have made the one book into 5 or more books.  The ending of the book is something that you can predict to an extent there are somethings that you can not predict and because of that I will not mention simply because I want to prevent spoilers.  There also seams to be only two or three main settings which for a book this big I find is really surprising.  Through out the whole book I kept on thinking about Dolly the sheep which is the first mammal to be cloned.  All in all this is a fairly good book and if you like the kind of book that is set in the not to distant future this if for you.  I give this book a 4/5.
