Deprivers reminded me of XMen. Here are mutated people who have special powers. There is a senator who is against them, trying to make laws that will round them all up. There is one Depriver guy who is starting a Depriver rights movement, for deprivers, but against the normal people. There is one person who might hold the key to the cure. Very XMen-y. But i love Xmen so this was great. It's not a whole novel, it's more like a couple of smaller novels in one. When it switched over to a new character and new time i got really confused. But i figured it out! I'd LOVE more books about the deprivers, it really seems like there should be, but so far, there is only, I believe, a short stories book that came before this. SEQUEL PLEASE!!

An excellent premise with an execution that suffered slightly. Deprivers was sometimes confusing to read because the perspective kept changing without much indication as to who is speaking. Nonetheless, the jumpy plot wrapped up in a thrilling way, leaving me wanting for a sequel.
