 GOOD PLOT GONE BAD! June 13, 2006
5 out of 15 found this review helpful
The book started out and continued to be a great, exciting story that kept me and my daughter wanting to read more. At the very end, in the last 20-25 pages its appeal declined. I don't want to give the ending away, but it mentions things like our ancestors, the apes, talks a lot about evolution, and has people getting energy from the earth and releasing it in strange, telepathic ways. As a Christian I would not want my daughter to have read it without me. I am glad we read it together so we can discuss the things that go against our beliefs. We definitely decided against reading the sequal "BAR CODE REBELLION"
 A total page turner September 25, 2004

I couldn't put this book down. Once I picked it up I was totally hooked. I couldn't believe the way I was drawn into the story of Kayla Reed and her fight to retain her human dignity and identity in the face of mass conformity. I think this book speaks to many things going on in our world today.
 Worst book ever. May 9, 2005

This book is the most formulated cliche book i have ever read. It lacks everything that shoud be in a good book. The characters are boring and flat. It has the MOST predictable plot of any book i have ever read. Bad book.

This book was based on life in th year 2025. A tattoo that is taking over the world and every one is getting it. It is a barcode that you scan and all of you information comes up on the computer. Kayla is against the barcode and is with a group of kids who refuse to get the tattoo. Kaylas Dad kills himself because of the tattoo and her mom tries to burn it off and ends up killing herself too, but everyone thinks kayla did it. She runs away to the mountais to find a group of people that can help her and on her way she finds a boy Mfumbe who was in the group against the barcode before, and Kayla and Mfumbe fall in love. They make it up to the mountains and live with a bunch of people who are learning to live without the barcode tattoo.
I would recomend this book for people who like suspence. It is a great book and it really makes you feel like your actually there. It also makes you realise what our world may be turning into with all of the high tech computers and devises that can give you instant result just like the bar code tattoo.

This science fiction, breath taking thriller will capture your inner heart and make you wonder about the years that are to come. Seventeen year old Kayla Reed finds herself lost and confused about the new fad of how to carry all your personal information: the bar code. Only, what if you say know, by making that one choice Kayla faces serious consequences. Her whole high school starts turning against her, and terrible things happen to her family and friends. Nothing is left of the life she once had. Her only choice is to run for what she has left. Struggling for survival, danger follows her everywhere and can't seem to escape the horror of the bar code.
This was not one of the best books I have ever read, but it gave me a good visual picture in my head about what the future might be like. It was hard to relate to what they were talking about since it was in the future. It didn't really seem that believable at first but once the story and the plot got going you could relate a little bit easier. This would be a good story for someone who want to know what the future may be like someday.
