“It's a pleasure to read science fiction that's full of warm, strong characters . . . that doesn't rely on violence as the solution to complex problems of right and wrong. The House of the Scorpion is a pleasure to read.”“Fabulous.”“Strong, rough, exciting reading.”“A story rich in twists and tangles, heroes and heroines . . . and often dazzlingly beautiful descriptive prose.”* “Farmer's novel . . . hits close to home, raising questions of what it means to be human, what is the value of life, and what are the responsibilities of a society. Readers will be hooked from the first page.”* “Powerful [and] ultimately hopeful. . . . A remarkable coming-of-age story.”* “An inspiring tale of friendship, survival, hope, and transcendence.”“Mind-expanding fiction for older teens that also works for adults."* "Farmer’s near-future world offers an electric blend of horrors and beauty. Lyrically written and filled with well-rounded, sometimes thorny characters. . . . [a] superb novel."* "A stellar sequel worth the wait.”
