Danger.com- Be Careful Where You Surf!
Danger.com "Most Wanted" is a well-written story with characters that its teenage audience should be easily able to relate to. There's Andy, a somewhat troubled teenage guy, who's life crashes around him. There's Andy's Mom, a single business-woman who tried to hide from Andy that he was adopted. There's also Syd, who's deep and intelligent, but also sometimes annoying with her name-calling and eating of health food. Therefore, even those are not adopted should be able to relate to something in this story. I gave it four stars because it seems to drag at times, and I didn't think much of the ending, but overall it's a pretty good read. Of course, there's also the Internet aspect, the idea that a story like this could really happen to someone who's not careful with what they do on the Internet. One complaint related to that aspect is when I tried to visit the Internet site listed inside the book, ...... I got a not found error. Very annoying.

A perfect book for all readers everywhere!
This book was awesome! If you like books that have there good and bad parts. You would love this book. In this book there is a boy named Andy who found out that he was adopted, and he then wants to find more about his other family. He goes to a lady who can find everything, and he talks to her and gets some information. All I can say is he's in for a big surprize. So if you want to know more you'll have to read the book.

I Loved It
I read this book three times and I thought it was amazing. I'm doing a book report on this book and it's coming out really easy because it's just great. If you are ready to read a story full of adventure, mystery, fright and love I highly recommend this book to all the readers out there and I know you won't be able to put it down for one minute!

Great Book!
If you like books full of suspense you will love this book. I had to do read this book for my book report and when I read it out loud all the class was interested and they asked me lots of questions. To me 4 stars is a lot so if you are ready to have fun and adventure then go read this book right now!

This was a great book!
This i think was an excellent book to have read because this book is full of mystery and suspence. I would highly recommend this book to people because it is a great book. One minute you think you know who did it and the next chapter you have a new victim. I would highly recommed this book to other people who love to get a good scare and suprise. ... Read more

SWEET BOOK!
THIS WAS A SWEET BOOK! . Must read. 2 thumbsup. THRILLING. I recomend you read the first two books and the last who knows how many after that!

GREATEST ONE
I don't have much to say about this book accept that it is AWSOME and a MUST HAVE if you like this series or John Peel, the author. I haven't read the 5th book - MELTDOWN - yet but out of the first four i think this one is the best. I look forward to reading MELTDOWN and can't wait to read other books by John Peel.

traitor (2099,3)
this was a great book in john peels (fear the year 2099) series. I dont think this was the best bok in the series. But it still was a great book

the third and most thrilling of them all
I just finnished reading this book. I loved the first two so I decides to try this one out. I was amased that this author can write so many good books. This book is his most thrilling and cool yet. I got this book from my teacher at school in first period. I kept reading this book through homeroom 1st period 2ed period 3ed period till finaly my teacher told me to put it away. Lucky for me she did not take it away. At lunch all I could do was read this book. I complettly forgott to eat lunch. Tristan has the most exciting adventure in this book than in any of the other one I have read. He team up with Genia and they try to break out of the "Ice" do they make it?how do they make it? Read this wonderfull book to find out. ... Read more

Out of this world
Awesome plot and I have never read anything like i; well, except of course, the Harry Potter Series which is 1000 times better than this but that's besides the point. However, overall it is a good read.

This Book was exactly like the tv show! When ever i can't see the eposode,(they cancled the show)i just read the book. They still show some eposode's but they still show some but not this one.

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
This is one of the best books in the series! ... Tristan and Genia and Mora are trying to track down Devon, but are having some problems. Jame, the 3rd twin is in the thick of the revolution on Mars. Shimoda is getting closer to stopping Quietus once and for all. But Devon takes over the moon and now is holding the world hostage. Tristan, Genia, and Mora are running out of time. In the final book Earth's fate is in the balance. If you liked the first 4 books.You'll like this one!!

Meltdown is coming.
What is probably the most disappointing book in the 2099 series is still a book that readers will find difficult to put down, particularly because the plot races along with each passing chapter and the ultimate showdown grows closer... In 2099 #5: MELTDOWN the trouble for Tristan grows. He and Genia are trapped in a world so utterly close to its own destruction, a world in which meltdown is causing it to come to a shattering end. Is there anything they can do to stop the ultimate

destruction of Earth -- and its future?

Totally Awesome
John Peel is the best author! This book was just as incredible as the first 4! Hes not like most authors where after the first book it gets boring! They are all great! Anyone who hasn't read this series is a fool! If you liked Diadem you'll love 2099!

Sweet book!
This is one of the best books in the series! The sci-finess of it was great. The book takes a big step in Tristan and Genia's relationship together. I really enjoyed it . And for the guy that said it was only good for the first two and a half words well he is just a huge loser.Just a plain LOSER!

It rocked
"It was good... for the first 2 and a half words!" the person who wrote this review is an idiot! eather that or he wants to throw off readers but im sticking to idiot dont believe a thing he says about the book its all lies personaly I really liked this book It made a few weird things happen but it had some pretty good plot twists ...

A great intro to the internet
Remember when you first got on the internet? If you are not a techie (I am not one) it can be pretty scary, loaded with lots of terms and procedures that are taken for granted by so many and explained by so few to the uninitiated.

Art Wolinsky's "History of the Internet and the World Wide Web" and the other books in the "Internet Library series" offer a very friendly introduction to what the internet is all about. We are homeschoolers and I would recommend it to other homeschoolers, but anyone of any age will find it useful and helpful.

The books are well-written and use very little jargon, unless Wolinsky first explains the jargon to you. My early elementary-aged son (who is a very good reader) and I enjoyed them very much; he's read all four books, I've only read two of them all the way through. They are geared toward late elementary and junior high or early high school readers, I'd say.

Wolinsky uses humor and very clear illustrations. This subject could be really dead dull; but not in these books. They are absolutely wonderful. And for those reluctant readers in your family, each book is about 64 pages long, so they don't get too much information in one gulp.

I highly recommend any or all of the books in the Internet Library series. I would start with this one, then read "Communicating on the Internet" and "Locating and Evaluating Information on the Internet", and lastly read the "Creating and Publishing Web Pages on the Internet." We found that they built on one another, so that the last book was like a field trip at the end of a school year. Good fun, especially for homeschoolers and other lovers of learning. ... Read more

No career here.
This book is not for someone who wants a career as a video game designer. The book has some big picture and a huge font.

YOU CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is the best that I've ever read! Tristan, a naive person who is chained to his conscience and Genia, a streetpunk thief from the underworld are forced to work with a gang of crooks and Tristan's ex-girlfriend, Mora, who has become hard-hearted after living in the underworld. I could not put it down. I wasn't intrested in anything else but the book. Unlike Paul Jennings,Morris Gleitzman, and John Marsden where their six part stories seemed to repeat itself throughout the series, John Peel is original. Well worth your money.

They can only survive the revolution....
No one can stop the ongoing revolution. Tristan and Genia, after a heart-stopping escape from Ice, must get onto business and save Earth from Tristan's devious clone Devon. Unfortunately, Tristan meets his betrayer. He discovers shocking things about why he was betrayed. But that doesn't make the fight for Earth any less serious. The world is one the brink of total destruction, and only Tristan , who is trying to gain the trust of Inspector Shimoda, can stop that.

No time for disappointment!
This book was excellent! Genia finds herself warming up to Tristan. It's also revealed in this book that there are three clones in the universe that have been freed from their lab, where other clones remain, still in their jars-- there's Jame Wilson, a young, 14-year-old that lives in Space, there's Tristan Connor, and Devon. Devon has a sick potential to take over the world, and Quietus with that. This book concentrates on Tristan's escape from Ice, and betrayal from Genia's own father. This book/series is related to Marilyn Kaye's "replica." There's also 12 clones, except the character's genders are different. This book isn't a disappointment--read it!

The 2099 series is AWESOME!
John Peel's furtive writing skills allow him to succeed in writing children's science fiction like no author. "Revolution" is a follow-up to his 3rd book, "Traitor," focused mainly on Genia and Tristan. "Revolution" reveals some of the secrets about Quietus, the hacker's mafia of the future, as well as the cloning of Tristan and Devon. This is a great book and I can't wait to collect the rest of the series! (BTW, I'm 13 years old, and that seems like a perfect age to be able to understand all of the book)

Outstanding
This book had so much adventure in it that I could not put it down. I in courage everyone to buy it. I have all the 2099 seires and they just get better and better as they progress. Once you read the last chapter of the book then you will be urged so much into buying the next one. But read the rest of the book first or you wont understand it. This is a realy good book and it will keep you on the edge of your seat the hole time! ... Read more

Not Catchy Enough
Twice,I have began this book,found it quite interesting,put it aside and forgotten all about it.I think this shows that it isn't what you call a page turner.

Betrayal
When I read that book i really couldn't stop. It was exciting till the end not like other books which have up and downs. I liked ( it was super). I highly recommand that book. I think that John Peel did a good job writting this book. Thanks

The ultimate betrayal....
Tristan is still on the run for his life. Inspector Shimoda, horrified at what the New York Net is now, storms into action to pursue the devious computer genius behind the scenes. Tristan is a renegade, a renegade in so much danger his own identity must be foiled to protect himself. His ex girlfriend Mora is worried, and she will do the only thing she can to seek justice. Tristan has no idea what is coming to him, because betrayal together with injustice will pursue him. What can he do to for Earth? Is there a way? He doesn't know, but his evil clone Devon does...

2099, Betrayal
This book was sooooo COOL! This book contained NON-STOP action! I could never stop reading until i was fineshed! This is the best Science Fiction book i have ever read. There are mysteries in every chapter that urge u to go to the next one to solve the mystery.

2099 is the best
This new series is an exciting one.It tells the story of Tristan Connor,an accused criminal;Inspector Taki Shimoda,a shield intent on capturing Tristan;Mora Worth,Tristan's girlfriend-turned-traitor;Devon,an evil teen who wants to take over the world;and Genia,a girl spending life wandering the streets of the Underworld.If you like computers and action then this book is SO for you. ...
