Little Brother

Little Brother
Author: Cory Doctorow

A story based on the famous book 1947: Big Brother is Watching YOU. It is the winner of the White Pine award of 2008-2009. This book is about a group of teenagers who are illegally arrested during a terrorist attack on the Golden Gate bridge. As you can tell, it takes place in San Francisco. It tells the story of a boy who fights against the highly paranoid government using the Xnet and going under an assumed name: W1ns10n. Written for teenagers and young adults. It is written well.

A great book. A Page turner for everyone who reads it. I finished the book within 3-4 days and was very happy. I loved most of it although i found some parts dull. The action is very captioning. Although the technical talk at the beginning is hard for some people, i got by it.

  2. 1947: Big Brother is watching YOU. is not a book. This book is written in the style of, although not based off of, 1984. Again, the actual review of the book fails to do much except say "heh, this was good read it lol".

    3/10
