  Many themes discussed in the book are highly likely to happen: microchip implants to control the mind, cloning technology in order to extract useful organs, and many other interesting yet sinister possibilities. Beautiful storyline that draws the reader's interest right away. In the future we may become just like the charaters in the story. Or maybe not? The power of choice is greatly emphasized in this read. You can chose to allow the past to sculpt your character, or take a step forward and decide to do what is right.

  the House of the Scorpion was a wonderful light read. It was a mixture of new scientific technology and old traditional customs. The book portrayed wonderful themes of friendship and overcoming obsticals and was a very inspirational story. The ending was something I found very suprising, the story definitally went full circle. Over all a very good read.
