I loved this book the present day factor and the future. It was written brilliantly how modern society is today and how things would change for the characters in the story. I found myself wanting to know what happened next to Skye. I just wished she could have found her bit of happiness with Bo. The nasty school girl clique is too very true in today's schools and I'm glad they got their comeuppance. The end was very endearing as the present day skye met her family in the future, it bought a tear to my eye. It was very American teenager but I could see this making a great movie the author has done an excellent job here and i would love to read more by matthew reilly. I would love to give this book a reread in the not to distant future as i feel there may be things i missed the first time around that would have given clues to the ending!
