Reviews

[Ilias · Rating 4 out of 5]

Compelling and really well-paced and I feel gross after reading it. Everything in the entire world is bad?? Actually??? I dunno, though, I didn't necessarily like the narrative choice to make the seed result in birth defects?? I dunno, I don't know that I felt the script addressed the real problems of gmos? I'm gonna give it 3 stars because it was fun to read and conveyed emotion well, but it. Went by a little too quickly for me to really catch on to it, I think. Maybe if I'd seen it instead of read it.
