Description

The "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" comes a social novel in the tradition of "1984, " set in a mind-blowing world where every person's physical size is directly proportional to their wealth. The poorest of the poor are the size of rats, and billionaires are the size of skyscrapers.

Reviews

I've always enjoyed science fiction, and when it makes social commentary at the same time I'm really hooked. On top of that, this book has a completely new premise - the people in it are literally big or small (or anywhere in between) depending on how much money they've got. This is the obscentiy of extreme wealth and extreme poverty put into an excellent novel about 2 littlepoors (narrated by Warner, the brother) trying to find a way out of tiny.
