Seen by Lori Nelson – Review by Callie Luna

Seen by Lori Nelson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Seen is a dystopian science fiction adventure. The viewpoint changes between Mouse and her brother Meph. Mouse wants to become a news article writer when she graduates high school in a few short months. I really wanted to enjoy this book but unfortunately for me, Seen did not meet my expectations. I struggled to picture Mouse and Mephs’ world and their motivation. They both read like overprivileged teenagers that want to have their own lives separate from their fathers. Not to say that their reasoning is unjustified due to the fathers’ outlandish behavior and the ending of this story. I also felt like there were too many subplots with Meph that took away the focus from Mouse. This book seems to be made for young adults, but I would recommend adults due to the sensitive topics that are in this book like murder, violence, gore, and attempted rape.
