[OOC: Nope...what's it about?]

Sure, as long as you set it before Shade's children Fix The World. That book had one of the suckiest endings I've ever read. Great premise, but the guy threw it away...

[OOC: Nope...what's it about?]

um.... its about these kids who are in this world where they are basicly harvested for their muscles and brains. its kinda confusing to explain it. for me it is any way. sorry

more physical. um.... there are characters called overlords in it. they come from another dimension. basicly what they do is they have these thing that makes these creatures they make move and live. well the creatures are made out of teenagers. what they use is the muscles and brains so that the creatures can move and think. there is more but that is a slight overview of what the over lords do to the teenagers

the authors name is Garth Nix if you want to read it. sorry if i confused you

The story takes place entirely in a coastal city and the surrounding areas. Basic premise, a long time ago everyone over I think twenty-one disappeared, except for a guy named Shade, who was transferred to a computer. The world was taken over by mysterious creatures (Overlords) who use it as an arena, pitting their armies against each other. Their armies are surgically improved, mentally controlled humans.
Read the book. It won't take long.

thank you. :)

I read it... way back in the seventh grade. It was great for what it was.

My favorite book by Garth Nix is Sabriel (It is a three book series) Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. I have yet to read Abhorsen/.

I've also read Sabriel, but not the other two. How are they?

Lirael is great, but diverges and focuses on another character named Lirael while Sabriel takes a backseat/backdrop position. They are still featured in the story, but Lirael is the major central character. It adds quiet a bit of theme to the world, information not previously mentioned, and details some of the other forms of magic that are TRULY unique as the bells of necromancy in the first book (Though I know the bells, death as a river and such was inspired, it is still unique for a fantasy setting). It gives quiet a few major surprises. The story is not really complete with just Sabriel.

Its a good book, I like the gifts each child has and their uncanny relationship with a computer that they might as well call dad
