This is Geo. So far i love the book and keep reading more and more. Just really relates to what high schooler are going through and doing. Ditching and etc. Also, how technology is advancing and can be either the death of us or can be a huge help to us.

Little Brother is one of the most life-relating books I've ever read. It simply connects to my technology love instantly. I know what he is talking about 100% of the time. All the web terms he used were common for me to understand. This book is very interesting and wants me to read more to relate more. It is a perfect book for any computer-loving geek. Yeah, it's that great. In conclusion, I think this book so far is 5 out of 5 stars.

This book connects to me in lot of ways. It has interesting parts in it that don’t make you stop reading. It gives you a good idea of what the lives of super computer people are. It also gives some knowledge of technology. It is a great book for people that want to learn some technology and/or to read for fun.
The beginning of this book is a little weak and doesn't really hook you on. But, after reading on a few more pages i got easily addicted to it. The plot-line and the characters are very easy to connect to. It has some interesting computer tricks and facts in it which you can learn from. The story, as it goes along does get a little intense with some action and suspense which hooks you on to it even more. Overall, so far the characters, story, and settings have been great. The main character Marcus or w1n5t0n is really smart and knows all of the bugs,loopholes in systems and any technological item. He is geeky and cool in a way which makes you like him. Also the way he deals with situations is pretty cool too. He'll try to do the opposite of what you want and try to get on your nerves, even in the most difficult situations. The book is a quick read, once you get hooked on to it.

This book is a very interesting book. If you like video gaming, hackers, and tech geeks this is the book to be. In the book he use what you teachers called text message format. w1n5t0n which means Winston. What i found very interesting is how they use there tech geek ways to get around school rules, i am not going to tell you how you will have to read about it your self. I would give this book a 5 out 5 stars.
henry,
wow!! this book is great. there is a lot of action so far, which is a plus. just the first chapter alone there is a lot of ation. what the characters go through is just brutal. this book is a easy read for people that know about technology and it will connect well with you, but even if you dont know a whole lot about technology, you'll still love this book.if i had to rate this book 1 through 10, i would like give it a 12!!
By now i am maybe little more than half way done with the book. I still love it. It started a little slow but quickly picked up and became a great read. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Mr. Graham, this is my 3rd post, I had no access to a computer when the second post was do so I will turn it in until monday. I was in Canada until last night and with the 2 hour changed I was very tired.

This book is a pretty good book. It is full of action and is suspenseful. At some parts I couldn't close the book and just had to read. The main character is a pretty interesting guy to read about. Overall this book is 4 out of 5
i like the book so far.The technoglogy seems more advanced and the characters remind me of smart mouths.In my opinion i would give this book out of 10, 1 being the best a 2.
Henry jaramillo. I am half way done with the book. the book is getting better and better. Marcus (main character)discovers a new things with the help of his friends. this book keeps you intrested and looking forward to the next chapter. this book also keeps you thinking and wondering what marcus will do next to complete his task.
Henry Jaramillo. third post. wow! I finished the book. the book was gret and enjoyable! the ending I somewhat expected. but during the whole book kep me thinking. i give this book would be a 9 out of 10 if i had to rate it.

During the middle of this book the gears change. From usual fun and games to intensity and action. At this part the book gives you a good understanding of the characters and shows you what the problem is. I think that even though this book has changed, it is still good to read. The urge to read on never goes away. I was stuck to this book till the end.

Since, the beginning and now till the end this book has been great. It can connect to any teen in some way and also it intrigues you with it's interesting facts. The struggle of the character to solve the problem is fun to read. Even though it is intense at some situations it always brings some humor in it. Overall, a must read for anybody.

So far little brother is a an amazing book. It starts out with a pretty typical teen with a typical ditch. something big happens while they are playing Harajuku Fun
Madness, which then they get pulled into spiral with the government. (which i connect to on one to many levels) then they are trying to retaliate with because they lost a friend to the government. so technology as their weapon. i love technology.(except for somethings) they fight back against the government.
