The Chosen Ones

Rating:
Summary: Best book in years
Review: The Chosen ones is unlike anything I have ever read. It's an exciting story that pulls the reader in. The concept may seem strange at first, but it doesn't take long before you realize how possible it is. Hough's idea of creating a multi-race Native American culture to sustain life on this planet after a tecnological meltdown kept me turning pages through the night. My only question is when will the sequal be out?

Summary: Weak Premise
Review: The idea of the book was good. But as a science fiction reader the details were not well thought out. These people are raised to be an American Indian culture, yet when they are released there is so much they didn't bother teaching them, like what weather or seasons are? Give me a break! The kinds of animals they could encounter that would consider them prey? They didn't include horses as a part of their education? they know they will encounter other possibly violent men, yet they don't teach them basic self defense skills, or strategy. It could have been so much better.
