The Heart of the Matter submitted by celesteh on June 18, 2010, 12:53pm This technically isn't a YA book, but reading The House of Tomorrow was like an ongoing segment on Degrassi, if Degrassi existed in book form. The original, not next generation. Hmm...possibly next generation. As much as I love Degrassi, I would not want to read Degrassi books, if they existed. It's the actors that make the show, they make it interesting. So reading this book? Kind of flat. Also perhaps because I've read some really good coming-of-age stories revolving around punk rock. On top of that, they were YA books, and were far better than this. I recommend "Fat Kid Rules the World" or "Hairstyles of the Damned." This one's just a bit lacking, and not very edgy. However, I think it might make for a good film if someone took that up. I would love to see the geodesic dome made!
