Okay, does anyone know this book title?

I really liked it, and I CANT REMEMBER WHAT ITS CALLED! It was published in the U.S. about a year ago, and I think its in NY or some other big city, but perhaps it took place in England???

Its a futuristic story about this boy who was near a building that got bombed by terrorists, and one of his friends gets shot, so he steps in front of a police vehicle, trying to get them to stop so that he can get his friend to a hospital, but instead, these police people grab them and place them in the truck and take them to some secret location. Then they basically torture this guy and his friends, believing that their apart of the terrorist group. Eventually their let out, and then the boy gets all paranoid and decides to stop the government because they aren’t allowing the american people to exercise their freedoms or something …. and somehow he uses his xbox and hacking skills to overthrough the injustices of the government…or something.

Does anyone know what I’m talking about? I thought it was called “hacker” or something, but its not. :(

If you don’t know, at least tell me what your favorite book is!

…Its okay. I didn’t really expect anyone to know it anyway. At the very least you could tell me what your favorite book is?

lalala Bibles okay. I like the book of Daniel, thats got the best stories in it. I can tell you guys are being sarchastic though.

Hmmm, my favorite book would have to be…The Theif, by Megan Whaler Turner? or Etlantica by Brandon Sanderson?….not sure. I like to read to much to keep favorites. :)

right now im reading “my sister madonna” so far it’s good but you have to be a fan to like it (obviously)

No actually, its cause the qur’an is written off of the bible. They use alot of the scripture in the bible and build on it in the qur’an. They think Muhhammed (how do you spell that?) was the last prophet after Jesus. They are the descendents of Ismael, I think, the bastard son of–Abraham?–I think.
