The Clone Codes

review 1: The idea for The Clone Codes and the blending of an imaginary future where clones are the new slaves of humankind and civil rights/abolitionist history is very intriguing and is the only reason the book gets 2 stars instead of 1. The writing and execution of the plot is horribly corny. The protagonist, Leanna, is 13 but the book is better suited writing wise towards elementary school students. The concepts and parallels about slavery are more middle school concepts which place it in a weird category. The pretend future words are annoying. The authors try a little too hard to make the history and future overlaps apparent in the story which could have just been accomplished by the fact check at the end instead of beating the reader over the head with it. The "surprises/spoil... moreers" of the book are laughable and anyone can pick them up in the first mention which contributed to the feeling that I felt very dumb for reading this book. I will say that over all the idea was good and the action was fairly fast paced so the story was readable if you can forgive all that other stuff.
review 2: I did not like this book.The protagonist was emotionally immature and way too easy to hate.The entire thing with the O seemed to have been pulled from a cheesy scifi movie and made the plot way to complex.Stillar was pathetic. Best bounty hunter, my butt. He's a grown man with two biobots and he can't even take down a child. I don't care if she does have a cyborg with her!And then we get to leanna. She is a bratty teenage girl who doesn't care about the seriousness of the situation. Instead, she whines about how she's a clone and goes on about how bad clones are.And finally, the ending. With a book this bad, the last thing you want to use is a cliffhanger ending. It feels like less
