“Advanced genetic engineering and upsettingly plausible caste oppression keep pages turning in this futuristic science fiction tale. . . . A good option for science-fiction fans interested in genetic engineering, rebellion and class issues.”──科克斯評論
“The author s speculative vision of the darker side of future possibilities in genetic engineering and mind control is both chilling and thought-provoking. This is a dark novel that will appeal to those who enjoyed M.T. Anderson's Feed (Candlewick, 2002), and it would make a good stepping-stone to Anthony Burgess's classic, A Clockwork Orange (W.W. Norton, 1963).”──圖書館期刊
"This is a well-executed science fiction novel with a riveting plot and many underlying themes that provoke thought long after the last page is turned. The world building is amazing - from the descriptions of the landscapes and arachnid based fauna (eep!), to the holograms which render the environment 'Earth-like', Sandler brings her world to life brilliantly...A wonderful novel which immediately became one of my favourite YA novels published this year. I would recommend it to any reader who enjoys young adult fiction or science fiction." ──網路書評
