Scorpions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

       It was a very good thing that I agreed to read the book, The House of the Scorpions by Nancy Farmer.It is a great book, at least so far, but I have a feeling it is going to be a crazy and twisted book. Within the first three chapters, there was blood, drugs, and clones. That is just crazy! I can't wait till my book club gets to the end because I know that there is going to be some sort of suprised ending. :)

        The story is about a clone named Matt who is a shy kid when it comes to meeting other kids. Especially since he is not supposed to leave his house because of what he is. But one day, he heard voices at the door. Which then he saw three kids that live in the richer house. He gets hurt and they take him too their house which then leads to bad things. This is where I stop because I will give too much away of the book. I do have one question though. Why do they treat him like crap, if he is a clone. He was made so that he is similar to us humans. He acts normal, eats like a human, has characteristics of a human. So why would he be treated like a animal. He does have his own traits. Genes, and even DNA. Scientifically speaking, he was produced by one parent. Or in other words asexually. It is a normal thing to many others. Maybe the person who is his creator  is an animal, but not Matt. The point is, he should not be treated like an animal, as well as like he has no freedom (He was not able to do anything without hie "mother"). Everything on earth is free, so why not treat him like he is supposed to be treated.

         Anyways, I changed my mind about book clubs. THey don't suck eggs after all. They are pretty cool. Until next time!!!!
