“A mind-blowing, heart racing, novel that anyone would fancy”. The House of the Scorpion, by Nancy Farmer starts off by talking about a clone, whose only purpose in life, is to die for his creator. This story of the poor, hated clone's survival expands into the award winning novel Nancy Farmer has conveyed for us. This story weaves a tale of excitement, desperation, and love. The characters are introduced perfectly and the science fiction in this book is mind-blowing! The House of the Scorpion is a mind provoking novel that uses cloning and mind control as symbolism. What would the world be like with cloning and mind controlled slaves? Will we have old people living to two hundred by taking their clone's hearts? Or would we be demolished by our clones? This novel is amazing and perfect for the philosophical and creative mind. In my opinion, The House of the Scorpion is one of the greatest books I have ever read. Nancy Farmer has an act for creating lively characters, and never-ending twists and turns into a fantastic read no one will want to put down.

I can honestly say that, The House of the Scorpion is a novel that can be enjoyed for many generations to come. After looking at the aspects of this book I can say that this book is world renowned in everyway! The twists and turns with leave you speechless and the suspense will keep the adrenaline running through your blood during the entire novel.
