[LM_NET] BOOK: Being by Brooks

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Brooks, Kevin. Being. Scholastic/Push, 2007 [978-0439-90342-4 \\ 0-439-90342-4]
The story opens with Robert on an operating table getting an endoscope
for stomach problems but what they find is alarming.  There are
strange things inside Robert that have been shielded from the earlier
x-ray. Robert hears them planning to remove it while starting to
submit the drugs but he never fully goes under and breaks out of the
hospital.  This an violent adventure as he teams up female friend of a
former friend trying to stay away from the people who are after
Robert.  On this adventure the two fall in love with each other and
have physical relations, not described although discussed.  Robert
tries to figure out what or who he is.  I love the ending.  This 323
book is another mind bending, suspenseful tale by Brook.  Each book I
have read by him is different yet so good.  For middle school or high
school suspense, you have have to have this and his other books.
