The world in Swipe is terrifying, innovative (even if the innovation did lead to a scary result) and fascinating! It's scary to think that this could be our future if things took a turn for the worse. Swipe is a MG/YA suspense/thriller that is really cool! 
 I loved Evan's descriptive writing. The attention to detail really made the story rich. I loved how he described houses as going up rather than across. Most of the houses have one room on each floor but can be over 20 stories high. (Because land is so scarce and expensive that lots are much smaller.) And all of these details are interwoven in Swipe that it makes this world come alive. 
 I both love and hate that Logan and Erin are so smart. It was the one snag in this otherwise 5 gavel book. The characters in Swipe are 13 years old. And while they may be on the smart side of the spectrum, they are otherwise normal 13 year olds. But their language and sense of humor and thought process were so adult. I just couldn't imagine any young teen talking or interacting at this level. They would have joke arugments between friends about the "letter of the law" v. the "spirit of the law", and their vocabulary was well beyond even high school SAT vocab. I love smart teens and I wish more people would upgrade their vocabulary, but I also want the characters to be realistic. So this bugged me a little bit, but it was the only thing I didn't love about this book. 
 The characters are likable and Logan is such a bright kid. My favorite part about them was how inquisitive they were. Always questioning things, never blindly accepting what they are told. It shows an independance that is really great to see. Swipe took me on a suspenseful joy ride. Swipe is a really good read.
