My thoughts: WOW! I am in love with this series. I flew through his book in two days. I could NOT put it down. It was so addicting and action packed. I kept telling myself "One more chapter....One more chapter"... I am now reading the second book in the series. I hope there will be a third! Uppers and Lowers (aka Scrubs) make up the two types of people that live "Inside". The lowers must work non-stop to keep up with the maintenance of their living space. Trella (Yay! Trella! Love her!) is a scrub but finds solace in the pipes. She explores the vast interior of Inside and is nick-named "Queen of the Pipes" (Slight mockery there). Trella is a (cover your ears) bad-ass. She is so strong and ....wow, does she ever sleep? I loved her character. I love that Trella and Riley's relationship grew slowly. Most YA novels are like BAM! Instantaneous Love connection. Trella and Riley seemed to build on a friendship instead of falling in love right away. It was so refreshing to read instead of a forced love connection. The ending was amazing. The story wrapped up in a tidy way, so we aren't left with a horrendous CLIFFHANGER (AHHH!), but left enough open questions that I was excited for the second book. As soon as I finished the book I told my husband...That was the BEST ending EVER! So seriously, the ending was the cherry on the Sundae. Incredible!!!! There are so many twists and turns in this book. It's non-stop action page after page. I loved it and can't remember flipping pages that quickly since The Hunger Games. I really enjoyed 99% of this book and wouldn't change a thing. The only thing that annoyed me was the dates and ages....It was hard for me to grasp how they were calculated with the 100 weeks and centi-years and all that. It was so confusing to me, and after awhile I stopped trying to figure out how old everyone REALLY was or exactly how much time had elapsed. That was pretty much the ONLY element that I didn't like in this book. Other than something that's super-spoiler-ish so I don't really want to say it, but what happened to one of the main character's at the end. I DID NOT LIKE. But, the book was so awesome it doesn't negate my 5-star review! GO READ THIS BOOK NOW! Judge a Book By It's Cover: This cover has been redone for the re-release to coincide with the second book. Love the new cover. Much better than the first one! The ever elusive - 5 Stars!
My conclusion: Humor is better in columns, not books. The funniest, laugh-out loud, parts of this book have nothing to do with Japan. It's really striking and amazing how Americans can get away with making humor out of being completely ignorant. Definitely some funny parts, mostly because of Barry's wonderful language play, but overall this book is really dated and would probably not have sold a single copy today.

The POV seems to shift and with the imprecise attribution/dialogue, what started as interesting ended feeling like a gimmick. I have to say that aside from the framework, I really liked the theme within the book: everyone wants to belong. I also liked how Gordimer treated the post-Africa portion. Interesting to me that the natural world/landscape became a part of the book that was only present when her need to belong was fulfilled.

I thought the book had a lot of potential, it just moved too slow for me.

I read several historical fiction books around 1998 and this was my favorite. I'm pretty sure I cried while reading this book. Maybe if I read it again today I wouldn't like it so much but my 1998 self really liked it.

I've always loved The Great Brain, and enjoy all of the books in the series. I think the first one is probably the best, but all the books maintain the quality and entertainment of the first. I loved them as a kid, and I still enjoy reading them now. The books have a great view of the West in its early days, excellent characters, and deft writing.
