an incredibly successful work.Why cant all thrillers be this satisfying?Kirkus ReviewsSwifts bracing debut thriller envisions a New York where careerminded parents allow fascist institutions to raise their children.Its the near future, and the president is a smiling subordinate to the corporations that rule America; individuals rely more on technology than each other; and public schools have been abolished.Richard Carson and his wife, Carol, are Manhattan lawyers. Theyve sent their young son, Christopher, to the Newman Home, a technologically savvy school, where hes raised and educated full time. One day, to Carols chagrin, Richard decides to take the summer off from his firm and write. He also suggests they bring Christopher home on a summer sabbatical from Newman so they can bond with him. Carol strongly disagrees, arguing that the boy will fall behind in his intensive curriculum. Nevertheless, they bring Christopher home.Once there, however, their son is nervous and robotic, showing no personality. Then, while stroking the boys head before bed one night, Richard finds an incision scar behind his ear. Is the sinister mark related to Christophers malaise and Newmans reluctance to give him up?This irresistible premise taps into modern paranoia about corporate control and social disengagement. Swifts propulsive tale arrives in bitesized chapters. Truly riveting, though, is Swifts dialogue. Commentary on actual public policies is equally searing.an incredibly successful work.Why cant all thrillers be this satisfying?Kirkus Reviews
