Everyone should read "Altered." Even though set in the future and considered a YA book, the possibility of a situation such as this is not as far fetched as some may think. Taken over by the Grey Army, citizens are forced into Labs to modify food that is made to enhance certain characteristics in people, or make them complacent. Others are forced to abandon their homes and enter "nursing homes," where their minds are altered. Still others are forced to join the Grey Army for the few privileges.I found this book to be intriguing and frightening. The writing is crisp, clear, and concise, making for an entertaining read. My mind wandered far enough to think of what I would do, faced with this threat. The author definitely has the ability to engage the reader!
