This such a great book, just the way that it is formatted and how everything is explained makes me not want to put it down. It really makes me think too, I've been starting to wonder if this would ever actually happen where the government would get way out of hand and spy on everybody all the time. It kind of freaks me out thinking about it. A quote that I thought was pretty incredible is this, ""The security," he said, looking around his little shop with its
tubs of dried beans and seeds, its shelves of Turkish groceries. "The government. They monitor it all now, it was in the papers. PATRIOT Act II, the Congress passed it yesterday. Now they can
monitor every time you use your card. I say no. I say my shop will not help them spy on my customers."".

This really struck me as odd, I mean, a huge terrorist attack just happened just a few blocks away from this guy's store and he's mad at the government for tightening security and spying on people. I respect this guy for that, he seems like a legit guy that believes in freedom for everyone and will do his best to make sure everybody gets it. I'm just surprised at how quickly this guy made up his mind that he was going to help out the citizens after such a catastrophe.

Nothing like this has ever happened to me really but I hope it does. I want to know that I'm doing what's best for the people that I interact with and that I'm not just leaving them up to dry for the government to look at where they've been and such. I don't think it will ever get as extreme as that but you never know. Again, it's a terrific book and I'm looking forward to figuring out what Marcus is going to do about it.
