I loved this book!! It is fast-paced and well written. The mystery involved makes the book interesting from front to back. The adventures that Matteo Alacran goes on and the friends he makes, makes it a memorable book. In the beginning though, I was a bit confused with the flashback and then going straight into the story. Nancy Farmer could have added a bit more background information, but otherwise, it was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves dystopian stories, mystery stories and stories of friendship!! Once I got closer to the climax, I never wanted to put down the book!!

This was EPIC! I usually like short books, but this was just too good, with all the mystery-solving and a taste of what life is like. The author really understands the life of kids like Matt but takes it much further with all the twists. Matt has to deal with all of this and it is hard but always comes out fun and real. Read this, a really emotional book about friendship and conflicts that moves up a further level.

This book was one of the most amazing book I have read. Essentially, what it is about is that the main character, Matt, is a clone. He barely knew anything about other humans until he met his creator. Now he has a lot of power until something tragic happens. Read on to find out what happened because no spoilers! But like any book, it is not perfect. It has many time skips, with some of the major ones being 4 to 6 years. It is better than it is bad though. This book is action-packed and has many good cliff hangers that make you never want to stop reading. Its also a unique plot, not like one I've ever seen.

**Minor spoilers alert** I love how the story is told by how old Matt is. I also love how even if you think the book is over is somehow goes on. Matt learns how he is in danger but the characters all have some relationship to either help or stop him. There are so many plot twists and parts you can only understand if you have read the book. The book is ever dull and a really good read.
