I couldn’t put this book down! Every new turn surprised me. I loved the characters and the premise is so smart. A really fun read that also makes you think about where our world is headed. I loved it!
Also, the cover is fabulous. I enjoyed carrying it around while I was reading it.
Mind.Officially.Boggled. At first I thought this book had echos of Frankenstein’s monster, but … not really. Then it reminded me of “Flowers for Algernon,” because of the experimentation on a mouse’s brain that led to experimentation on a human’s brain, but … things changed. Then it seemed like the movie “Lucy,” with its computer elements, but … well. Read the book. You’ll see.
Wow. An incredible story. Must admit lots of the scientific stuff I didn't understand. But I connected with the plot and the characters. And such a wonderful message...something we need these days.
