Audio Book Review

Inventing Elliot by Graham Gardner, read by Dominic Taylor.

From the case: When fourteen-year-old Elliot Sutton arrives at Holminster High, he is determined not to stand out. He simply can't let himself become a target like he was at his last school. He's going to invent a whole new Elliot. The new Elliot is tough, impenetrable.
Enter the Guardians. A group of upperclassmen that secretly rule over Holminster with a quiet and anonymous terror. Obsessed with George Orwell's book 1984, they desire power for the sake of power. And strangely enough, they want Elliot. Not to terrorize...but to become one of them. Everyone knows that if the Guardians notice you in the wrong way, life will be miserable. But as Elliot soon discovers, even if they notice you in the right way, there will be some terrifying choices to face.

Thoughts: I really like listening to books. It gives me a chance to read when I don't really have any free time. Almost more important than the book, in that case, is the reader. This reader is London-based, so it took me a bit to accept the accent. Once I got into it, I like it. The book is pretty predictable. But there aren't a lot of books on bullying for teens. Once you listen to them refer to 1984 so often, you will want to read that too.
