One of the worst written books I've ever seen. Which is too bad, because there were some interesting ideas buried in the story. But it reads like a 6th grade book report, with a fourth grade vocabulary and second grade grammar and spelling, which was edited by a monkey and spell checked by an illiterate hyena (pray vs. prey, champion vs. champagne, etc.) Huge holes in the plot, awful dialogue, major discontinuities, and the basic premise didn't even make sense, nor was it ever explained. Stay far away from this one.
