Considering the size and how slooooow of a reader I am, this is pretty good for me. I love it. At this rate, though? I'll be caught up with the books in about two years or so. ;-)

Just a dumb sidenote: I think if I were to write an adaptive screenplay, it would be to tell the Tarzan story as these books do. Nothing really silly or cartoonish. I think there could be a very good movie here if it were done correctly! Anyway, back to reading.

Picked this up b/c I was curious: what YA books are out there for boys? I'm definitely hooked with this story; it's dark and creepy and claustrophobic-- I find myself thinking about aspects of it after I've closed the book, which is a good sign. I think more books need to be written for male readers, in general. This is a good place to start if you think the same way I do.

I didn't know how good this book would be! Once I got past the first chapters on the ship, the story's just flying along! I can see Burroughs is going to suck with dialogue, but the rest of the descriptions/ action are pretty impressive, so this should wind up being a fast read once I can devote the time to finishing it. :-)

Oh, I am loving this. Right up my alley. I <3 genetic engineering fiction!!

Finally, I'm going to finish reading this book! Even if it costs me my soul...

Quite possibly one of the most original, unpredictable books I've ever read. And yet there's no real plot. I love it!
