Seventeen ain't so sweet if you are living in the year 2025. When a person turns 17, it is by law that they must get the bar code tattoo on their wrist. What is presented to the people of America as just a means of identification, currency and basic medical history, the bar code tattoo is actually so much more and for most it is the end of their life. The first book was the build up of the world Suzanne Weyn was trying to bring across. The second book was the culmination of all the information given in the first one. Quite a bit of the second book was predictable but still interesting. Until it all of a sudden takes a very weird turn, one that I felt was reaching just a little too far. The ending was severely disappointing. It was too easy, everything the characters had been through and the fact that the word rebellion was in the title just made the finish line fall short. It was like listening to a very long, drawn out joke that has great potential and then hearing the punch line that turns out to be really silly. It made me wonder... what was the point? What a waste of time it turned out to be. The saddest part is that I really thought I was going to love this book.
