The house of the scorpion by Nancy Farmer

Would you recommend this book? If so, who would you recommend it to, and why? If not, why not?


This book is recommended to anyone who like stuff that is futuristic and who likes a deep yet understandable story. I found the book to be hard to keep track of at certain points though and the dialogue is loaded with meaning and can be hard to decipher. I reccomend this book to people who have a large vocabulary and a deep understanding for books such as these. The ending of the book is satisfying though and the next book is due to come out soon; The lord of opium. Other stuff to take into account is that bits of Spanish are strewn through the book but if you don't know what " mi madre " is and you can't guess than this is not a book for you.
