Review: the mark by edyth bulbring.
View onAmazon UPDATE: I have turned off comments for this review. This is a set book for a class in South Africa and I'm starting to get comments asking me to answer assigned question. Also, people have ignored my request that they not ask such questions. If you would like some guidance reading this book, there are a number of youtube videos on The Mark. Link to youtube videos on The Mark .
"There tends to be a common teen-angst thing, like: 'Oh the whole world is against me, the whole world is so screwed up,' " Will explains. Teenagers are cynical, adds Aaron Yost, 16. And they should be: "To be fair, they were born into a world that their parents kind of really messed up." Everyone here agrees: The plots in dystopia feel super familiar. That's kind of what makes the books scary — and really good. Think of it like this: Teen readers themselves are characters in a strange land. Rules don't make sense. School doesn't always make sense. And they don't have a ton of power. The fact that these books offer a safety net, a place where kids can "flirt with those questions without getting into trouble," that's reason enough to keep teachers and parents buying them off the shelf.
Comments are turned off for this post. If The Mark is a set book for your school project, you might find it helpful to look at these youtube videos about the book. Link to list of youtube videos about The Mark.

I agree with you, Mack, that there's some great YA literature out there. And this one sounds like a taut, interesting story as well as some solid character exploration. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
So can this be a literacy essay on the mark as well
Can you write an essay that tells us when Ettie is devious and appealing throughout the book
Sorry, I read the book a while ago and don't wish to reread it at this time.
Critically explain contrast between etties world and the mythical world Why does the author use certain fairytale to refer to ettie
This comment has been removed by the author.
I want to ask the same question because I'm writing an exam about it
Sorry, I honestly don't have a detailed memory of this detail and I don't wish to reread the book at this time.
Explain ettie's learning experiences both in and out of school

Edyth Bulbring
The Mark is the award-winning book of the English Academy’s 2016 Percy FitzPatrick Prize for Youth Literature.
In the future, the world has flipped. Ravaged by the Conflagration, this is a harsh place where the sun beats down, people’s lives are run by a heartless elite and law is brutally enforced. A mark at the base of the spine controls each person’s destiny. The Machine decides what work you will do and who your life partner will be. Juliet Seven – “Ettie” – will soon turn 15 and her life as a drudge will begin, her fate-mate mate will be chosen. Like everyone else, her future is marked by the numbers on her spine. But Ettie decides to challenge her destiny. And in so doing, she fulfils the prophecy that was spoken of before she even existed.
The Mark was published by Tafelberg in September 2014.
The Mark is a fast-paced, gritty and uncomfortable read and Bulbring maintains a cracking pace, blending elements of SF  dystopia with nuances of magical realism. Pick this one up if you’re looking for something slightly different – Nerine Dorman, Pretoria News
Darker than The Hunger Games and more thrilling than Divergent, Edyth Bulbring’s new dystopian novel will fascinate teen readers – Fiona Snyckers, The Sunday Times
This is the South African fiction we have all been waiting for – Nikki McDiarmid, Puku
A dystopian, futuristic, mystical dark novel with twists and turns that keeps its reader enthralled to the last page. With its examination of a futuristic political system, it would make a great setwork for teenage pupils – Stephanie Saville, The Witness
Bulbring paints a believable society in which steampunk is married to advanced technology. Although there is action and excitement, the focus is on the characters and their emotions, so this is never just another post-apocalyptic adventure story but something deeper and more serious – Aubrey Paton, The Herald
Edyth Bulbring is South Africa’s premier story-teller for young adults – Library Thing

The Mark is a dystopean young adult novel. Being a card-carrying geezer, I'm not in the target demographic. But you know what, a good story is a good story and this is a good story well told.
