Minders - Book Talk

Minders, is a bad book. It starts with an extremely interesting concept scifi concept and ruins it. The concept is that a group of people are selected to go inside the minds of others in future Detroit. These people called Minders are to report on their subjects behavior are thoughts. This book has a very interesting start, but quickly changes into more of a romance novel. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quick easy, but not great read.

Book Talk-High and Dry

Charlie Booker is miserable at the Palm Valley High School. Things take a turn for the worse when he is blamed for a girls overdose on LSD at a party, and he finds about a mysterious flash drive, which the all the students to suppress, then he is approached by a friend asking him to throw his next soccer match. Charlie is stuck in the middle of all these situations and more, as he tries to solve everything.

This book is dark, I mean it, it has sex, drugs, violence, and drinking. Even with all those things it still has a very interesting story with lots of moral grey areas and bad decisions. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks they can handle it.

Christopher's world changes when he finds his neighbors dog impaled with a garden fork and is blamed for the crime.

This book is a quick read and I would recommend it to anyone. Christopher also lives in England.
