An autobiography is a true story or memoir written by the author about him/herself. Science Fiction books are stories that often tell about science and technology of the future, involve partially true fiction laws or theories of science, and they take place in either the future, in space, on a different world, or in a different universe or dimension.

Now that you have finished reading your chosen text, please take time to share with others about your book. Which genre is your book? What is the title and who is the author? Give a short review of the book (main highlights), and tell us why you liked or disliked the book. Support your answers with details from the text. Maybe someone else out in cyberspace will enjoy your recommendation enough to want to read the book, too!
