The Sky Inside by Clare B. Dunkle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
There were a lot of things to like about this book - the suburbs, the games to earn meals, the recitation of advertising jingles at recess, the separation of people in easily monitored segments. I spent time debating the human-ness of many characters, debating the likelihood of each being a bot. I'm actually disappointed that there were so few bots.
For me, the biggest drawback to the book was Martin. Theodore Dreyfuss may think that the 14s were the best of that model year...but he was an idiot. He was obnoxious, stubborn, frustrating and annoying. I much preferred his friends and his dog.
I do think a second book would be a fun, quick read but I'm concerned about the main characters being Martin and Theo because two 14s could kill any story.
