This sounds like an intriguing sci-if. I might check it out.

Please do! It's quite a nice read. Thanks for commenting!

Count me in to learn a new language that quick! With something this interesting, I would have liked to see more subplots, but I might give this a read anyway. I'm always up for a quick read if it's good. I've been enjoying the thriller genre a little bit more and am always looking for something that looks good. Thanks for the review!

This sounds entertaining, although I'm apprehensive about the use of Iran as a backdrop for the story. Is Libator City supposed to be in the US?

I completely understand about the subplots. It would almost work really well for the young adult age because it was quite simplistic in that sense. It was still enjoyable. Just not very complicated. Thanks for commenting!

No. If I remember correctly, it's somewhere in Modern Day Africa. Iran is used, yes, but it's not really in a horrible way. There are two sides in Iran. Those that want to kidnap the children and those that don't. So it's really the radicals in Iran that are behind the whole plot... Thanks for commenting.

I might check this book out. The only problem that I may have in this book is the fact that there are point-of-view switches. I often get really confused with this type of story-telling. Thanks for the great review!

He makes it pretty clear, so I don't think it would be a problem. Thanks for commenting!

Oh, I want to be able to learn languages at the drop of a hat. No, wait, I take that back. Part of the fun is the work it takes to learn. (I am a little sick that way. Learning! Yay!) But I would love to be able to retain and be fluent more easily. I am a bit hardcore when it comes to my sci-fi books, but I also don't mind quick reads. I call them brain candy. We all need them sometimes. I may have to read a sample and see if it pulls me in. Thanks for the review.

[JR Mercier]

Brain candy. I like that. Yes, sometimes it's nice to read something that you don't need to think hard about. Thanks for commenting.

The fact that you want to seek out the first in the series speaks well of the book. The absence of graphic violence and sex scenes sounds refreshing to me! It sounds like great entertainment for a summer vacation. I'd like to check it out! Thanks for sharing your insights!

I totally agree with stacie k that the fact that you want to read the first is a huge recommendation in and of itself. Thanks for the review!
