Marcus, a.k.a "w1n5t0n," is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system worksand how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they're mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

MissYaremcio Is this your review for the assignment? 4y
MissYaremcio Thank you for the clarification! This seems like an interesting story! I am going to have to read it now... Great review! Next time remember to include all elements of the assignment in your post (you were missing the tone and the “if you like books that“)! 4y

Not book related but how cute is my baby brother? Got locked out of my house last night so had to come to my parents home for the night. But I got extra cuddles with my favourite new cutie. And mom and dad made us all pancakes for breakfast. Good time with family.

Bell says: I never said I wanted a little brother. In fact, if it's all the same to you, I'd like to go back to being an only child. Free stinky boy to a good home!

(Mommy and daddy think he's pretty sweet)

I know this isn't book-related, but I love the relationship my 2 youngest (almost 16 and 3) have. Little man climbs into bed with his sister every morning to chat and give good morning kisses before he goes downstairs for breakfast. This morning big sis was actually awake, so the conversation went even better. Happy Sunday, fellow Littens!

JoScho Pure sweetness and that quilt ❤️❤️ 6y

callunakeep LOOOVE this!! All the feels!!! 💕❤️Reminds me of me and my younger sister @DiruVamp ... we are nine years apart and have been tight since she was born! 6y
Betty Love that quilt! 🦊 6y
ElishaLovesBooks Adorable!!!💕 6y
Vertabrain I love this so much! My son is 7 years older than my daughters, and they used to do the same thing. Now, he‘s 21, and living far away at his first duty station with the U.S. Navy, soon to deploy for South Korea. We miss him so much, but he still cuddles with his sissies whenever he can. I am pretty much chopped liver these days. 😂💕 6y
DiruVamp That is so cute! And @callunakeep is right! We may both be only children (inside joke) but we‘re best friends 😊😍 6y
Mollyanna That is super cute! 6y
knittedgnome Adorable!! And that quilt!!! I have had that pattern for ages but haven't gotten brave enough to try it! 6y
tournevis Aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww 6y
readordierachel That is so freaking heartwarming ❤ 6y
InBooksILive That's beautiful ❤ and is that a giant snorlax she's using for a pillow?? 6y
Traci1 @InBooksILive lol yes. It's the humongous beanbag one from Think Geek. 😁 she uses it to be able to sit up in bed at night. 6y
Traci1 @knittedgnome @Betty @JoScho my mom made the quit for her. She gave me the pattern in case I wanted to make a wallhanging or something to match, but I haven't done anything with it. It's a beautiful pattern. I'd love one for my bed, but I doubt I could talk mom into making one for me. 😄 6y
Traci1 @callunakeep @DiruVamp It surprises me how close they are considering the age gap. As I'm typing this she's lying on the couch and he's sprawled on top of her while they watch baby tv shows. 6y
LibrarianJen How sweet! 💖 6y
Traci1 @Vertabrain Aw, I can't even imagine. My oldest (20 yo) is away at college, but he still comes home pretty regularly. He also skypes with the baby every few weeks. Good luck to you and your son. ☺ 6y
Traci1 @LibrarianJen thank you 😊 6y
Pamwurtzler They‘re super cute! 6y
leahbird Can you share a link to the quilt pattern? 😍 My brother is 7 years younger than me and we were the same when we were little. He spent MANY nights sleeping on me, the only thing that would get him back to sleep after a nightmare. He never once got in bed with my parents. 6y
Smrloomis So, so sweet 😁💜💜💜 6y
Traci1 @leahbird the pattern is called Fancy Forest by Elizabeth Hartman. There's probably lots of places you can get It, but this is the one I know of: 6y
leahbird @Traci1 Thanks! 6y

When Marcus finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time he is arrested and detained for terrorist activity. He is interrogated, tortured, and threatened to life imprisonment, or worse. Upon his release, his desire for personal and national freedom and security leads him down a chilling path that questions all he knows about liberty and justice. This is a great read which is only growing more pertinent in our society.

Woah. If you want to question whether the book is non-fiction and you just weren't paying attention to the news, this is that book. Also, you will never trust your tech/government again.

Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor.

Cathythoughts And is inspired about what to do with his time. 7y
annalibris I read a big chunk of that book while sitting in Penn Station in NYC, listening to announcements about being vigilant and keeping track of your surroundings. It was a bit surreal. 7y

Set in 2008, there is nothing that happens in this book that doesn't sound like it could happen today or at any point in the near future. There's no reason to believe that anything in this story couldn't have happened in the last 16 years following the events of September 11. I suppose that's what makes it great fiction. I just recommend not letting it be the last thing you read before bed.

Had to re-read- - yet again. Seems very appropriate these days.

AStoriedSoul It's scary how appropriate this book is. If you haven't, rad Homeland too. It's just as relevant. 7y
ABookGeek I have read Homeland, and plan to read it again soon. 7y

Karen_V A very timely read! Hope you enjoy. 7y
MarriedtoMrT Great read! The audiobook was pretty solid as well. I can't believe this is 10 years old! 😧 And I agree that it is timely, sadly maybe even more so than when it was written. 7y

YA Audio I love my tin foil hat. I adore teens figuring out that nonconformity rubs the establishment raw. This story is well told and is for those who like Mr Robot, Predator Nation (was in the recommended section), Snowden, and Anonymous this ones for you. Don't be a sheeple
