That Time I Got Turned Into An Amoeba
Thomas was your average, small-town Dungeons and Dragons-obsessed guy… until one roll changed his life. When an all-powerful, otherworldly being offers him the chance to become the universe's most powerful creature, he accepts and becomes... an amoeba?
Now, he has to work his way up from the bottom literally, fighting to stay alive before his quest has even begun. Thankfully, he has a bunch of abilities that can keep him alive… assuming he can find them.
But even with the ability to cover his body in spikes or make clones of himself, can he fight his way through this stage of his journey to become the most powerful being the universe has ever known?

It's not bad, but it's not great either, seems to draw all of it's material from a video game
I believe for me this book wasn't terribly original. This is not due to the writing style or anything like that. It's only because it felt like a 3 hour long read of what amounts to a walk through of the 2008 video game "Spore" by Electronic Arts / Maxis.
I played that game for hundreds of hours, So the book didn't feel original at all. Literally everything he described as upgrades for his character is taken directly from that game. Eating the other amoebas, etc for body part upgrades, etc. The stingers, spikes, swim feet, ALL of that is just taken right out of the game.
It just felt like the author sat down and played the video game and decided to write a creative story walkthrough of what he was doing in the game and simply filled in his characters in the blank spaces.

Biology rules!
Science! A very fun read. Crass humor galore. I can't believe there was the golgi apparatus evolution. Its like my favourite apparatus out of all apparatuses. Can't wait for the sequel, scienceing cybernetics into evolution😃

A ever-changing romp
the humour was crass and juvenile at times although the writing has a solid set of bones the character development of josh is well done I would gladly pick up a book number 2

Its ok
Interesting concept but it's very slow burn. Like how long is it gonna take the person to get to a human shaped body?
