Let me tell you all first, i hate reading with a passion. It's boring, slow, and no reading position is ever comfortable for more than 5 minutes. But this book right here: The House of The Scorpion is by far the best piece of literature i've ever read. It's a work of fiction that follows he story of a boy who's actually a clone made off of a man who's the head of a very rich family's DNA. Since he's considered different he's treated extremely poorly regardless of acting like a normal kid. This leads to him running away, and then being drafted into a work force. When he returns home, he finds out the man who he was cloned from has died ((he was very old to begin with)). And a huge fucking twist happens at the end. I tried keeping the summary as vague as possible to avoid any spoilers, because i believe /lit/ should take some time to read this damn fine piece of literature.

This book was poorly written garbage appealing to only middle schoolers.

I think I read this as a kid
was it about some old cartel dude who would grow clones of himself to harvest for organs, then one of the clone kids runs away?
I remember it being boring trash
I really liked the pendergast series of mystery novels as a kid, mainly because I found Relic to be really cool, they are a bit goofy in retrospect though.
I read this book as a kid and I fucking hated it. Didn't really seem like there was a clear direction the author wanted the story to go in. The latter half of the novel was a jumble of poorly connected scenes with little actual depth.
