Book Review of The Bar Code Tattoo (Bar Code, Bk 1)

The Bar Code Tattoo (Bar Code, Bk 1)
yaaddict avatar reviewed on


I read about this book Threw Goodreads and thought it sounded really interesting. The story isnt that far life to this reality of technology. most of everything that happens in this book could still possibly happened, shoot some things already happened.

Its a great read to help prepare for the future. The book isnt to far off in the future, the year is 2025. it is short of a dystopian read, which i loved about cause dystopians are my favorite reads.

A lot of people have the Bar Code Tattoo. The Bar Code is the new way to live. it has all you money and life in the bar code. They say you have the choice but soon Kayla finds out you don;t have a choice and youre one stop closer in being controlled into slaves. Global-1 controls you, they have all your data.

Kayla is betrayed by who she thought was her boyfriend. She discovers that he works for them and has been tricking her to get the Bar Code. Kayla is on the run after her house goes up in flames and they blame her for her mothers death.

Lay;a falls in life with the only person she could trust a person who has been her friend. they start heading towards the resisters up in the mountains towards Canada.

I liked the whole concept of the story how close it was to reality, but still fictional. The story is just so close to reality Suzanne weyn really hit the mark on this one. i am huge in the what-ifs of things that could happened. now there are parts that are fictional, like Kayla having some kind of psychic ability seeing flashes of the futures and other things.

it is a short read but a really funny stand-alone book. i read this book in a heartbeat. i wanted to know more about each characters in this book. i didnt really liked the cover thought it was really boring. i didnt really understood why she had the bar code on the cover because in the book she doesnt get the bar code.

the ending left me confused and i hope the 2nd book is better to be honest. i just thought more towards the end the book was rushed and i couldnt really grab on whats going on.

Overall: A fun read for all ages. could of been a little longer and not rushed. but i still recommend to any dystopian reader.
