review 1: This was an interesting book about the power of imagery in making statments and creating a movement for a more equal economical world. The post-apocolyptic background really enhanced the fact that the trait of the need for power that humans possess will ultimately find its way into any new culture that is created after an incident on a large scale. The story takes on multiple layers and the protagonist, while I was routing for him the whole way, powerfully manipulated his imagery and ultimately his power from the imagery to work towards a goal that was "better" for all people. The author shows how maybe his better wasn't actually better for all. So often we feel that our "better" should be forced upon or shared and enlightened upon another culture or even socio-economi... morec status when it shouldn't be. We can share ideas and options, but this books shows how one movement or idea can be helpful to some, detrimental to others, and still not answer the question "How do we make everyone equal". Thought provoking book that I really enjoyed.
review 2: A well written story of the last city on earth in the far future where a strange sect, almost a cult, have some kind of an implant to give them almost super-human powers. This is the story of a young boy who's parents were exiles and lives outside the city. He is discovered to have almost super-human powers even without the implants. He is captured and taken into the city and turned over to the Zorastrans to be given an implant and trained by them. As time goes on he's taken under the wing of one of his trainers and given a mission that he strives to fulfill. This is a great book, a real "page turner". Seems like it could be continued in a followup book the way it ends. I'd definitely recommend this book. less
