Matteo Alacrán was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patrón, lord of a country called Opium -- a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster -- except for El Patrón. El Patrón loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself. As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patrón's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacrn Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect.

读后感

其实刚看到这本书时，我是有些排斥的，封面散发出的阴森的气息，让我感到很不舒服，这根本不是我这种小清新该读的书好嘛！可是朋友直接把书甩到我面前，说这书好，让我赶紧读读，最好再写篇评论，否则要了我的命，这其中的原因不得而知。 开读了以后，我才发现这本书其实并不像...  

这是一部不同于一般科幻小说的小说，没有高科技的打斗拼杀，完全以现实为基础，围绕克隆人的传奇经历，绘声绘色地讲述了一个关于友谊、生存、希望和超越的动人故事，情节扣人心弦又激动人心。

用户评价

有点像《银翼杀手2049》，关于自我身份的痛苦探寻。后1/3本有些弱。

有英文版纸质书。烧脑好书，值得一读！

这是9年级的课本= =

Must read for teens

12岁阅。那时候就看时喜欢科幻题材，保留当时印象给4星。印象最深的角色Tam Lin，十年后想到他还是一阵同情。
