The House of the Scorpion

This book is about this clone named Matt. He is the clone of El Patron. Everybody doesn't really like him at first but later on people like him. There is this girl name Maria that helps Matt and stuff. Was basically Matt's only friend. Matt trys to learn all these thing and about El Patron. Turns out he is just like El Patron in the past. But when El Patron died because he was really old, Matt became the new El Patron and meant he became the richest and most powerful "person".

I really like this book because it was the longest book I ever read. Also talk about clones and if you read it it seems really cool.
