Industry Reviews
"Filled with sharp dialogue...this work makes its admittedly didactic point within a tautly crafted fictional framework."
(04/14/2008)
"Terrifying glimpse of the future--or the present."
(04/01/2008)
"Marcus is a wonderfully developed character: hyperaware of his surroundings, trying to redress past wrongs, and rebelling against authority."
(05/01/2008)
"The encroachment on individual rights by national security is a primary theme of George Orwell's 1984, and, as his title suggests, Doctorow pays homage to that classic with an impassioned, polemical consideration of the War on Terror that dovetails with themes of teenage angst, rebellion, and paranoia."
