Add a CommentThe house of the scorion is a violent jarring speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspence. Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced. A plot driven blend of suspence and science fiction... i couldn't stop reading. Truly engrossing.
One of my very favourite books; I have read it four times now. This was the book that got me into reading. I went on to read all of Nancy Farmer's books. Doctor-at-Bass! T. A.
Fantastic story with palpable characters.
building clones and digging their organs out after? AWESOME!!!
Great book. Follows Matt's life as a clone of a drug king. Characters are strong and it is a good read.
had to read it in school back in sixth grade but even then loved it. the style is excellent and the characters have really strong personalities. the plot is great and the ending is really unexpected but also very good
Very, very interesting book. Couldn't put it down, until I finished.
Really really loved this book! The title threw me off a bit but once I started reading I couldn't stop! Really liked the style of writing and it was one of the only books where I'm completely satisfied with the ending. I highly recommend this book!!
Really good book!!!
this is a really good book with adventure, rommance, and excitment that makes you not want to stop reading, it's about the facsinating, terrifing and awful life of a clone. Everyone hates clones and poor matt is one many peoples hate him and are disguted by him but there are a few who love him. this books also involves mysteries....why does matt exsist??? It';s SO good you havee to read it!!!
