2.0

This book was very slow to develop the plot and I found it very hard to become interested in the storyline at all. The main element to the story only became evident at around 70% of the way through the book and I felt that the story of the neighbouring kid would have been more interesting than that of the one we are told. 

The story refers to kids being "lifted" but it took a while to even vaguely explain that this meant genetically inhanced. 

Idk I didn't enjoy reading this book. I expected more from it.
