This six weeks I decided to read another book by Brian Falkner called Brain Jack. It was copyrighted in 2009. It is a fiction book that takes place in the future. Brain Jack is about a boy named Sam who is a genius when it comes to computers or computer programming. But more specifically hacking. It takes place in Manhattan with his friend Fargas. One day Sam and Fargas decide to pull of one of the biggest hacks in history. Telecomerica. All they wanted were some neuro-headsets with new high-tech computers. Sam and Fargas went in and out undetected. Until they were invited to a hackers convention where the received directions to a different hacking convention. You have to hack your way to that convention. Only the best hackers get in to that one. And Sam was the only one...
This story is told in third-person. I believe that it is third-person omniscient because the author uses context clues as to how the specific character is reacting to every situation. The plot is centered around Sam eventually being caught and asked to be recruited to work for the government. After the government found that Sam had hacked Telecomerica, they wanted him to work for them. They could use his type of skills. They want him to help keep the bad guys out of the important areas in the U.S. government. The intended audience is probably Teenager or even young adult because some of the topics in this book may seem tedious or, on the contrary, extremely intense. This book is definitely science fiction because of all the new technology introduced here. It may also have some action mixed in with it because of the intense fighting scenes. This book got me lost in the different scenes like trying to stop a plan from flying in to the pentagon with a computer!
This book made me realize that your reasons for doing things can change in an instant. Like when Sam went from using his skills to get unlimited money, to working for the government to try and protect our countries deepest secrets. It makes me wonder how do people get these types of skills. This book is a mix of James Bond and The Project.
This book is definitely one of the most interesting books I have ever read. It is so cool to see every scene happen in your head with the authors word choice. One thing that I did not like though was the absence of some information. But after reading this book, I can't wait to read another one of Brian Falkner's books!
