The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer Book Summary

Discover this internationally bestselling, National Book Award–winning young adult classic about what it means to be human with an updated, reimagined cover!

Matt Alacrán wasn’t born. He was harvested.

His DNA came from El Patrón, the drug-lord ruler of the country of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt—except for El Patrón. El Patrón loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, and realizes escape is his only chance to survive. But escape from the Alacrán Estate is no guarantee of freedom.

House of the scorpion. I’ve always loved this book, but I can’t find a paper copy of it anymore, I wouldn’t mind having this on my phone

Great book!. When I was in Fifth Grade, this was the book everybody read! Great book, especially the part when Matt becomes the lord of Opium.

The Best Book I've Ever Read. My favorite book of all time next to the bible. Its one of the few books I can read over and over and over and love it more each time. House of the scorpion is the best book in the world. Period.

Great!. One of the best books I have read!

Great book. This book is a great read this is the 3rd time read ing it and it still a great book to read. Every time you tureen a page it is like stating a new adventure in the future. If you what a great story when you are bored GET THIS BOOK.

Amazing Read. It is an amazing story about the future of cloaning and how old you would be able to live it is an amazing read.

Amazing Book. As a 7th grader we had a choice of 3 books. This was one of the choices and it was amazing

Best book!. I read this book over spring break (I'm a seventh grade teacher who struggles to get kids interested in reading) and LOVED it! I went back to school, convinced my principal to purchase 40 copies so I could read with my students, and they were hooked! They couldn't wait to come to class to read more! To any kid who can't get into a book...try this one!

Brilliant. This book is absolutely amazing. It's definitely a great read.

Horrible. This book, was the worst book I have ever bought. This probably is the worst, most stupid story line I have read. DON'T BUY!!!!!

The house of the scorpions. AMMAAZZING! We are reading this in my English class and I can just not put it down!!! :)

Amazing story. It was awesome every single page is like gold

Ammmaaszzzziiinnnggg. This book (I have it for paperback) is intensely amazing!! All I have to say....

An amazing book. This is a totally awesome book. I am wishing for a sequel. If you like this book read the sea of trolls series.

Amazing!. Page turner!

Brilliant Story. I love this book more and more each time I read it. I was incredibly excited to see it as an eBook. The only complaint I have so far is about the spelling of character's names - namely Tam Lin. It appears as Tarn Lin time after time. It's somewhat irritating. Other than that, I'm delighted to have added it to my eBook collection!

AWESOME!. its really awesome. Best book i ever read in my intire life.

Great book!. I had to read it for school. I was dreading it. When I was done I was glad I read it. It was awesome!

Awesome Story. They really need a sequel to this book! It was one of the best stories I've ever read!

Great read.. Great read. Amazing end.what more can I say besides buy it!

Really Great Book!. I had to read this book as a 7th grade project and I thought it was boring by the cover and the back. But when I started reading it, I stayed up till Midnight reading this. REALLY GOOD BOOK MUST BUY

Amazing book. Matt teaches us to fight through the problems and over come anything. This is a great book I recommend to everyone, all ages

It's a really good book. I hope number 2 is on its way or at least a movie for this one!

Love this book!!!!!!. I love this book I stay up all night reading this book

Not bad at all. I found this quite an interesting book. I think it was a great book on genetic engineering.

My favorite book!. I used to have a hard time deciding which was my favorite book, but I once I read this I knew by far this is the best book I've ever read! The story is so interesting, different and compelling. I've read this book at least twenty times. So much happens through the first and the last page. I can read it and finish it and then pick it up and start reading it again right away and I still won't get bored. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone! MUST READ!!

Wow. Had to read this for school. Expected another lengthy, boring book for English class. FINALLY, I PICKED A GOOD BOOK!!!

House of the scorpion is horrible!. i have to read this book for summer reading and it is the worst book ever!

One of the best books I know. This is by far one of the best books I have ever read, you don't know how glad I am that I bought it!

Awesome!!. This book us enrapturing and a page turner. I couldn't put it down. It is great for all types of readers, but it's not for those 9 and under. The plot has a way of twisting sharply to keep the story interesting. A must read!!

GREAT!. this book is my absolute favorite!! ( besides the bible of course)

BEST. THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!!❤

AMAZING BOOK!. I had to read it during school, and I ended up rereading it 3 times, it was that good.

Awesome book. I downloaded this onto to my iPad to read for a school project, and I hate reading. This is probably one of the only books I've ever liked reading. I thought reading for the first time was enjoyable, and I'm so excited for the author to release the next part of this book. I just hate it when they leave me hanging.

a+. I was hesitant to read this book. When a school club pushed me to read it, I was glad. This book is griping and will fill you with a love for these characters and plot. Simply wonderful!

Mi encanta. I first read this book in 4th grade almost regretting it but when I finished it I thought it was a beast and amazing

Meow?. Waldo Es en mi pantalones
