...rather like a video game—there's not much depth to the characters, and it's all rather solemn, like the humorless main character—but it does move along at a terrific clip, and boys in particular will relish Agent Six's astonishing adventures.
The Lab is perhaps the best book I've ever read. In a time when so much young adult fiction is saturated with themes of misery - mental illness, parental divorce, racism - the adventures of Agent Six in his dark future are a welcome escape for teenagers. The action is electric, the protagonists solid, the message interesting.
