The House of the Scorpion


This was a suggested book by a student and I LOVE it so far.

I can't put it down.

Finished it finally...
So this put me on edge wondering what will happen next to Matt the clone or as the community considered a monster.

Questions to ponder:

1. Why do you think Tam Lin, Celia and Maria treat Matt like a human and support him?

2. What do you think of a man who wants to live for 140 plus years?

3. Is a clone born from a cow still a human?

4. Some readers felt the ending was quick and all the problems solved, do you agree or disagree?

Book Summary:

In a future where humans despise clones, Matt enjoys special status as the young clone of El Patron, the 142 - year old leader of a corrupt drug empire nestled between Mexico and the United States.
