Overall, I thought this was an entertaining book. Some parts were better than others, and some parts were just hard to understand. The overall concept was original and interesting. I would have liked to read more about the eye procedures, and the people getting them. I felt the book jumped around a bit too much, which made it hard to understand what was going on with who. I would read more of Geoff Wyss's work, because he is unique as an author, and he gives plenty of personality to his characters, making them come alive.
