It&#8217;s great science fiction with a <em><strong>Lord of the Flies<\/strong><\/em> twist. A fast paced thriller with some great surprises, this will appeal to both boys and girls.<br \/>Heidi Grant, Nashua North High School 1\/28\/13<\/p>\n<p>Please excuse my laziness but &#8211; I agree completely with what Heidi said. Variant is well written, has some depth and isn&#8217;t the same old dystopian story. Plus, I somehow missed the sequel which came out in October, and now it&#8217;s on my list to read.
