More about Little Brother

   I finally finished the book the other day, and I honestly did like it.  It kept my attention and entertained me thoroughly.  I think the part where people were imprisoned by the DHS, while their families thought they were dead, is the part that stuck with me the most, other than the awful treatment of the prisoners by the DHS of course.  These families thinking that their missing family members were dead was ruining their lives and is definitely not something that should be taken lightly.  The DHS was just going to allow these people to think that their family members were dead. A loss of a family member radically changes the family life, and so many people that were being held, like Daryl, was being held for nothing. He was innocent, and they knew that.  The DHS had nothing on him to hold him there imprisoned.  This really bothered me.  Meanwhile, Daryl's father was completely changed.  He was such a clean sober military man.  When Marcus and his parents go to tell Daryl's father what really happened, they found his father to be unshaven and drunk.  His house was a disaster and smelly.
   The DHS did not care about the people at all.  It does not make any sense that they are trying to prevent terrorism while treating their own citizens as prisoners witout any rights at all.  It was terrible how they treated those poor people, and they still never caught the people behind blowing up the bridge.  Nevertheless, they still had all those people locked up in that prison.  They did not treat everyone as badly as they did Marcus, but still most people had no business being in prison.  The DHS was taking advantage of their power and hurting more people than they were helping.  They were controlling everything, and this is why today's government bothers me.
