I really despised the narrator of this book. Although I enjoyed the premise, Marcus is very grating. I think what really bothered me about this book was the idea that Americans do not strike out against torture or the DHS unless it happens directly to them. Marcus obviously always knew about torture of people, but did not think twice about it or do anything. It said to me, and I may be off base, that Americans care only about the plot of Americans. Also a white, privileged teen talking about his rights being taken away? The "bad guys" also felt very underdeveloped to me and that also bothered me.
That being said, the author does a very good job explaining all the ins and outs of the tech issues that make up a good part of the story. I found the way that Marcus takes down the DHS very interesting. I just wish Marcus wasn't, well, a typical teenage boy.
