I love it when a science fiction book is written believably. This one definitely takes the cake for that. There is so much computer technology jargon in it that I was almost bogged, but it definitely served to make this book feel really real. You definitely can understand the lure of wanting to find truths in the world through the eyes of this computer hacker. It also kept you wanting to know what was going on. What was the evil force lurking behind the computers. 

Sam is also an admirable hero, trying to do the best thing for the people around him. He also put himself on the line for the sake of many others.

There was a jesting reference to a character's gender preference, which was unnecessary and detracted from the book. There was also scattered language throughout the book, nothing terrible but nonetheless distracting. When people are getting "brainjacked" the descriptions of their reactions are slightly disturbing, but nothing horrific. There is also a random person in the crowd of a football game who was found to be having an affair.

Apart from making you think, I really enjoyed the plot of this story, and the enlightening to a some of the reasoning behind the followers of Hitler. The absolute conviction the boys have in what is right and the wrong that should not be upheld was commendable. I also loved the uniqueness to the whole "travel back in time" factor. There have been so many clichéd ways to do this, and I found this new and refreshing. The history to be learnt in amongst the story was also fascinating. This is the kind of book that you wish with all your childlikeness was real.

Hm... I'm having trouble thinking of any for this one. There may have been some very mild language, but apart from that, this book gets two thumbs up for me. 

This book explores thoroughly and explains in detail why a world without absolute right or wrong is so bad. It's enlightening to readers who would have a hard time grasping the consequences of this. Elisha and Elijah exhibit great faith, courage, and maturity in all their actions; acting as though their parents were with them at all times. Chapters ended on cliffhangers that keep you wanting to read more. 

They go into a bit of detail on mind control, and brainwashing. I'm not sure what some people's views are on those topics. There are some descriptions that may be disturbing of how it was to be in a virtual world, e.g. brainwashing through the eyes of the victim. It's a bit violent in places, where students go on raids in the dorm rooms at night, and people end up with black eyes, but nothing too over-the-top.
