This book was truly a HORROR novel! It was one of the scariest books I have red in a long time, and I have read a lot of horror! The novel gives us a world where every single word is copyrighted, every gesture, everything you have, use, etc. is all patented and copyrighted and you must pay fees for everything. Everyone must wear WiFi cuffs so that every word you speak is charged to your "account". Every gesture you make is charged to your account. And anyone at all can charge an "InstaSuit" to your account... suing you an amount of money for any infraction they wish. If you cannot afford the debt of your words, you are indentured off to servitude. It is a horrid world! The story centers around one girl, Speth, who "zips her lips" and refuses to speak. I totally enjoyed this book, but it did leave me with a creepy foreboding that this soon could be our reality also.Tags : Amazon.com: All Rights Reserved: A New YA Science Fiction Book (Word$) (9780373212446): Gregory Scott Katsoulis: Books,Gregory Scott Katsoulis,All Rights Reserved: A New YA Science Fiction Book (Word$),Harlequin Teen,0373212445,Dystopian,Science Fiction - General,Social Themes - Values & Virtues,Copyright,Freedom of expression,Freedom of speech;Fiction.,Mutism, Elective,Patents,Revolutions;Fiction.,Science fiction.,Silence,Trademarks,10047639,115026X,20170901,707220,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9),Coming of Age; Dystopian; Futuristic; Science Fiction; best; Young Adult; 2017; book; seller,FICTION Science Fiction General,Fiction-Science Fiction,JUVENILE,Juvenile Fiction,Juvenile Grades 7-9 Ages 12-14,Monograph Series, 1st,Science Fiction Fantasy (Young Adult),Science fiction.,Silence,Social Themes - Values & Virtues,TEEN'S FICTION SCIENCE FICTION,Trademarks,United States,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Dystopian,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Science Fiction General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Social Themes General (see also headings under Family),YOUNG ADULT FICTION Social Themes Values & Virtues,Young Adult FictionDystopian,Young Adult FictionSocial Themes - General (see also headings under Family),best;Young Adult;Coming Of Age;Dystopian;Futuristic;Science Fiction;2017;book;seller,FICTION Science Fiction General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Dystopian,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Science Fiction General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Social Themes General (see also headings under Family),YOUNG ADULT FICTION Social Themes Values & Virtues,Young Adult FictionDystopian,Young Adult FictionSocial Themes - General (see also headings under Family),Science Fiction Fantasy (Young Adult),YOUNG ADULT FICTION,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9)

The ideas of this book may seem over the top but increasing computer tracking of every piece of data could make it real. The suffering for a principle is realistic. Fortunately the ending is upbeat and hopeful. All my friends will know about this book. Next step is to buy my unalterable hard copy.
Excellent science fiction - far too relevant for comfort! The author creates an amazing and frightening world of corporate interests run amok. And the strong female heroine is thoughtful and powerful. Great debut effort - looking forward to the sequel!
Well-written--the author does a good job creating characters you care about; and although there are contextual gaps (how the country ended up in such a sorry state and what's happening in other parts of the world, for example), you can see the seeds of the imagined dystopian civilization in the context of today's technology/advertisement/litigation-obsessed consumer, which makes it relatable. There were a few places that could have been tightened and streamlined, but overall, it was an easy, enjoyable read.
With so many books in the dystopian genre STILL trying to ride the coat tails of the Hunger Games and Divergent, I was pleasantly surprised by All Rights Reserved. I'm glad I read this fresh new idea of a story and would recommend it to others. Having said that, I still think the author could have worked a little more on character development. Of course, when your main character is mute through 95% of the story I suppose that development would be a huge task! All in all, I loved this fresh new approach to a potential future dilemma.
I read this book because the synopsis sounded so original and interesting. It ended up just being okay. I felt like the world wasn't developed fully, there was a lot of stuff I didn't understand. Also, this book says its about how when a young girl decides to stop talking it ignites a nationwide protest. We don't see ANY protesting. I would have like to hear more about how this protest was effecting the country. I feel like this book isn't even about this movement, just the main character, Speth's, troubles. I think things escalated way too quickly and wrapped up too neatly. For much of the book we were in the same place and I felt like we weren't making much progress with the "main plot." Then, all of a sudden its boom, boom, boom. In a way that feels way too easy. Towards the end I was just slogging through. However, I didn't hate it, I hated the ending, but I was interested for the rest of the book.
I do not like dystopias. The premise is that something bad is carried to such an extreme that the world falls apart, as if the laws of reality were held in abeyance until the moment the author steps forward to show how bad it is, and now society can go ahead and fall off the damn cliff.
This follows that formula, all right, but with humor, with readability, with great story telling that is so often absent from dystopias. I bought it on a recommendation from Cory Doctorow at the EFF, figuring well, how bad can it be, what the heck, $10 down the drain. And I am mighty happy to say this is not one of those awful depressing dystopia novels which make you want your money back. It is fun, it is imaginative, it knows how to poke at sacred cows without being preachy, it is everything a good story should be.
I adored this book. It is set in a somewhat dystopian future where technology has gone too far and the right to speak has been controlled. To me this book is a terrifying possibility for the future. Reading this book, I could picture all of this happening in our world and it terrified me.
The main character, Speth, was flawed. She accidentally started a massive movement of silence through not just her community but through the entire area she lived. She became the face of a movement with no real plan but she made herself worthy in the ways she knew how. She made friendships without talking. She felt things and made me feel things without her ever saying a word.
The other characters were were relatable in their own ways and also, very flawed. This was not a book where everyone was perfect because this was not a world that was perfect and I appreciated that very much.
I will admit that at times the pacing was slow and yes, I will admit that sometimes, I even considered putting the book down but I kept thinking about it constantly. I kept wondering what the characters were doing and how they were dealing with life. They made me feel things.
The final speech in the book made me cry. It's been awhile since that happened.
