barbara fister reviewed The doubt factory by Paolo Bacigalupi
Review of 'The doubt factory' on 'LibraryThing'
Excellent if at times didactic thriller about teens who are determined to reveal the misinformation campaign that has enabled companies to develop and sell products that have caused multiple fatalities. Alix first meets this crew when they grafitti-bomb her posh private school. Soon she realizes her beloved father (and all of the luxuries his salary provides) may be a professional liar. She has to choose between a father she loves and a mysterious and attractive leader of the rebel group of teens committed to exposing the truth. What I liked best about this book was the way it desribes the thrill of research when the outcome really matters.
