Rash by Pete Hautman was a very interesting read. It is set in the future, around 2070's and just about everything is illegal. From french fries to football to verbal abuse. Everything is monitored and if anyone has any outburst or tantrums it is recorded and that person could be sent to jail. But jail in this time isn't like it is today; it is a work camp that helps run the country. With it being so easy to go to jail in this time, a large percent of the country is in jail. So they set up work camps that make the goods and run the country, such as having teenage boys work at a pizza factory or minors work on the road clearing it up. I always find it interesting reading something about a messed up future. But for Bo Marsten he finds nothing about it messed up. That is of course until he gets in trouble and sent to a work camp. He learns how scared he's been his whole life is for no reason, he learns to truly have fun and what he's good at. This is a good book and I recommend it to anyone that likes future books such as these.

You really enjoy all kinds of books, don't you! This one doesn't sound like I would enjoy it at all. I hope the future doesn't really bring what this book says!
