The Adjusters

Welcome to Newton, the perfect town...Where kids get perfect grades...And everyone seems perfectly happy - all the time...Except Newcomer Henry Ward isn't buying it. With a pair of misfit friends, he's determined to expose the dark secrets lurking behind Newton's bright facade. But asking questions about Newton and the corporation that owns it can be dangerous. The doctors in the sinister medical centre on the hill have a procedure called "adjustment" for kids who don't fit in...And Henry and his friends have just gone to the top of the waiting list.

Personally I didn't really like the extent of violence in the book. However, it was still pretty good. A lot of tension and drama and a very interesting and fascinating concept of genetic modification

This was excellent as a talking book! (and no doubt as a book too) but really brilliant narration by Joe Jameson.

** Was sent a proof copy of this book from the publishers **

Unfortunately, while the cover is AWESOME but I couldn't really get into the story though I can definitely see others liking it more than me.

The book isn't as scary as the blurb portrays. It is good, thrilling book though. The story grabs you in and doesn't let go until you are at the end. There isn't much of a setup for another book to follow, but with the way this book ended, it could just be a stand-alone novel.
