"This book is very interesting. The main character, Barney, lives in the Complex, an experimental hospital. He is surrounded by people who are dying and take untested drugs in the hope of helping someone in the the future. As Barney's days of living in the Complex dwindle, he sets his sights on one goal, to build the Bumblebee and give Mazzo, a terminally ill patient, his last ride."
"This was good, but not Cormier's best work. Great setting, wonderful descriptions, good plot, interesting characters, intriguing twists. But hey, word to the publisher: don't put an image of the climactic scene on the cover. It sort of spoils it. KTHXBYE."
