review 1: Freakling by Lana Krumwiede is a truly astounding book. The moment I started reading it I got sucked into this dystopian world. Freakling has a very flowing plot and it makes you think about our world and how much different it is. It has a lot of detail and very intricate descriptions of what Taemon is thinking throughout the story. Taemon's life is very different and he is a stand out. You should definitely read this book if you are a fan of dystopian world's and a flowing and intricate story.
review 2: This is a nice change of pace. This is a dystopian society that reminds me of some of the first dystopian titles to have come out. It is a fresh idea and well crafted. I will include the summary which sums the story up better than I can. It was so easy to fall ... moreinto the story. It was a perfect blend of fairytale and science fiction. This is a quick read and I can't wait to read the sequel.In twelve-year-old Taemon’s city, everyone has a power called psi — the ability to move and manipulate objects with their minds. When Taemon loses his psi in a traumatic accident, he must hide his lack of power by any means possible. But a humiliating incident at a sports tournament exposes his disability, and Taemon is exiled to the powerless colony. The "dud farm" is not what Taemon expected, though: people are kind and open, and they actually seem to enjoy using their hands to work and play and even comfort their children. Taemon adjusts to his new life quickly, making friends and finding unconditional acceptance. But gradually he discovers that for all its openness, there are mysteries at the colony, too — dangerous secrets that would give unchecked power to psi wielders if discovered. When Taemon unwittingly leaks one of these secrets, will he have the courage to repair the damage — even if it means returning to the city and facing the very people who exiled him? less
