Critical Evaluation

Homeland by Cory Doctorow is an adventure/mystery book that will leave you hanging on every page.  If you like adventure or mystery books I definitely recommend you to read this.  This book is an 8 out of 10 but I strongly advise you to read the first book called Little Brother to get more familiar with the characters and what they do.
