It's not a super deep book*, but it is very gripping, and more character-oriented than you might expect given the premise. The viewpoint character is a convincing 16-year-old. For me, the book is one of the most memorable fictional depictions of grit I've seen, right up there with Gattaca and The Shawshank Redemption**. (Disclaimer: I've read the book several times, but the most recent time was five or ten years ago.)
* But much deeper than Dragon Ball Z from what I've seen. :-)
Edit: Here's Orson Scott Card giving a glowing review to Singularity and some other Sleator books. This contains a spoiler for Singularity! -- although vg'f n cybg cbvag lbh pbhyq cebonoyl thrff tvira gung jr'ir nyernql gnyxrq nobhg gur gjva cnenqbk.
** Edit 2: The Count of Monte Cristo deserves a place on this list too.
That sounds like an interesting book, thanks for the recommendation. It's going on my to-read list.
