Ilustration In Favor Of Books Candor

In the model community of Candor, Florida, every teen wants to be like Oscar Banks. The son of the town’s founder, Oscar earns straight As, is student-body president, and is in demand for every club and cause. But Oscar has a secret. He knows that parents bring their teens to Candor to make them respectful, compliant—perfect—through subliminal Messages that carefully correct and control their behavior. And Oscar’s built a business sabotaging his father’s scheme with Messages of his own, getting his clients out before they’re turned. After all, who would ever suspect the perfect Oscar Banks? Then he meets Nia, the girl he can’t stand to see changed. Saving Nia means losing her forever. Keeping her in Candor, Oscar risks exposure . . . and more.

Weigh Up About Books Candor

Wow, I've been reading a lot of great books lately and this one was no exception. Candor was an amazing read. I read it pretty quickly, too. It reminded me a bit of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld and The Giver by Lois Lowery. The first thing that captured me was the line on the back cover: "Stepford makes the perfect wife, but Candor teens are changed for life." Now anyone who has read or seen the movie, The Stepford Wives, knows exactly how scary this quote is. I was hooked from the first chapter

The first 5 chapters of Candor had me thinking "Wow. This is going to be an exciting, well-rounded, and complex story." Many, many chapters later, on page 162/256, I was sighing, hoping for something, ANYTHING to happen. Then, on page 170ish there's finally a major conflict. (I'm sure you can guess what happens, but I won't say.) The story took far to long to get started, but once it did, WOW. Awesome. The ending is unlike anything you'd ever guess.Candor is a story to be taken lightly. If you

Personal Response:I think the book Candor by Pam Bachorz is a good book to read for young teens and I really enjoyed it. This science-fiction novel is a book, which I would suggest for people who enjoy adventure books. It took me all over the place and was hard for me to imagine what was going on. This book is something I would definitely recommend to people. At first, I was kind of lost in the book and wasnt sure if I was going to be interested in reading it but it just took a little while to

PERSONAL RESPONSE: I liked the book, Candor, by Pam Bachorz because its about a teenager and it deals in the present. Candor society is perfect because people dont do bad things, but they act in the right way because of Messages that fill their brains.PLOT: The story has a very strong impact on the reader because it is about a society where people act good because of subliminal Messages that tell them what is right or wrong that makes Candor a perfect society.The founder of the society is Oscar

eeeeeeeeeeh.I am having trouble rating this book. I hated the ending. Really hated it.I'm sure Oscar's decision was supposed to be read as courageous and benevolent towards the girl who had captured his heart. And oh how we need another male teenage character saving the girl at the end. (Yes you can read sarcasm there.)But I spent the whole book hating him because he was so superior and so lacking in any care or drive to entertain the notion of getting help for the *whole* town. His attempted

This was such an interesting and different read! I recommend it to anyone who enjoys dystopian and is looking for something relatable but with a twist! This is a book about a town where one man controls everyone by brainwashing everyone through music. It's the story of his son: a boy living in this brainwashed town but who knows how to fight it and what he does with that knowledge.Now, I did have some problems with the book. I wish it would have been longer, for starters, because a lot of the

I thought that the premise was interesting, but Oscar wasn't that much.When Nia comes into his life, everything changes. And that exactly was what made me not like the story more.Although I think that the ending was executed pretty well. I liked that one a lot.I think that this would be great movie material, but as a novel it just was okay.
