	Comment after you read: In addition to being a huge internet geek (like me), my husband is a huge fan of Cory Doctorow’s adult books. Once he found out that Little Brother was a YA book he was really excited and talked about it non-stop. He actually got an ARC from someone at Tor but we never got it back from Paul (our sci-fi reading friend) so I got the library’s copy. It was not a disappointment even for me, a devoted realistic fiction fan. I was a bit hesitant on page one when he felt the need to explain what w1n5t0n meant, but quickly the talking down stopped and I was swept away in the story despite the occasional technical explanation. I liked the main romantic relationship and was really caught up in how close this story could be to reality. I haven’t read any of his adult books, but he has no problem adjusting to writing for YAs and his attitude toward it is really great.
