8. The Commander's prohibition on magic doesn't change even when Yelena rescues him. Were you surprised by this? Do you think his umcompromising laws are an asset or a detriment to his rule?

9. Valek is a ruthless assassin who poisons Yelena. Yelena should view him as her enemy yet she can't condemn him and eventually falls in love with him. Why?

10. What is criollo?

11. With the Commander in charge, people of Ixia have lost many personal freedoms, but have more personal safety in many ways. Is this a fair trade?

12. Would you rather have some restrictions and knowledge of a guaranteed job, career or safety?

13. How would artists or creative types be able to flourish in this world? If the Commander doesn't respect art, will the loss be felt in other ways?

14. The Commander's isolation for Ixia may be partly determined because of his personal hiding of the truth. If the truth comes out, will the character of Ixia change?

15. The military takeover occurred about fifteen years ago and most of the populace seems quite content with the new regime. Do you think the rebellions are still fomenting? What would it take to start it up?

16. Is Valek an honorable man? He's dones some gruesome things and caused the death of many people. Yet he does earn our respect. Why?

17. Is the Code of Conduct too rigid? How could you relax it and still keep people safe? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78858785 How to Be Popular (Hardcover) by Meg Cabot
