Astonishing. Bought ten copies and donated them to libraries, plus gave five as gifts to teens. Even if you don't want to grow up to be a hacker, it has valuable lessons about the danger of accepting authority for its own sake.

An engaging, deeply interesting book. Daemon for Teens.

Nice to see this get a Hugo nomination

Definitely a good read, though I found it a bit spooky how easily our current society could become the one depicted in this book. Good for all ages, not just teens.

My review for the Summer 2008 Booksense Children's Picks list:

'Cory Doctorow's Little Brother updates Orwell's 1984 with current computer technology and post-9 / 11 fear-based politics to create a nail-biting read that shows the true dangers of unquestioningly giving up our freedoms in exchange for a vague sense of security. Curious, free-thinking teens and their parents will love this book, both for the adventure within and the debate it will doubtlessly engender.'

A must for the teens! And anybody else too for that matter.

I thought this was good, but as not as good as the hype led me to believe.

Geekiest book I've read all year. Review: blog.mawbooks.com/2008/12/28/little-brother-by-cory-doctorow/

I've never read a Doctorow book... is this a good one to start with?

One of the best books I've ever read! This is so relevant to today's culture, it should be a must-read for everyone.
