I’ll give you a clue. On the last page before the book ends Matt thinks to himself that he will be able to shut down Opium and he will be able to transform the eejits back into regular humans.

Now, go to you local library and get that book and read it.

This book has won many awards. Some people don’t like it any believe it has no place in a school library. I disagree, some students find it good reading. Whatever gets students reading is better than having them not read at all.

Are you missing pages? DS (& I) read it, but passed it on. I think the ending is something about Matteo(?) destroying the poppy fields & freeing the idjits (?), peace, harmony, blah, blah, blah. No offense, but “The Giver” (Lois Lowry) is better. “House” is a little high on the cheese factor. Besides, I encourage you to challenge yourself a little by reading some real literature. These books are fine, but they are not stretching your brain. Bust out some Poe, Dumas, Dickens, Dostoyevsky…why am I hung up on “D”s? I don’t know. Check out Project Gutenberg.
