Comical, insightful, disturbing, self-critical, oh-so-modern, “Wow! I thought only I felt that way!” Jarring, exciting, uplifting ... is Charles Ingram misguided, unstable, or inspired? Fifteen-year-old Charles Ingram is on the run from the FBI. No longer a gamer, bully, or highly medicated and spoiled teen, he’s convinced the “System” has brainwashed people and turned them into digital pawns. Parents, teachers, psychiatrists, and cops, they’ve all gone horribly wrong. That’s why Charles and his gang smashed the System — to set people free. Fast-paced and thrilling, Third Brick from the Right is a profound and hilarious send-up of life in the digital age.

"Third Brick From the Right" is a fantastically written piece of fiction that I would recommend to anyone lucky enough to come across it. The plot revolves around a "System": an over-the-top depiction of some of the biggest problems Western society is faced with, such as spending too much time in the virtual world, parents not spending enough time with their children, and young kids being over-medicated. This novel is action-packed, over-the-top, and incredibly thought-provoking. This is the one book you definitely will not want to miss out on.
