I really wasn’t expecting this book to go the way it did, and it started out with me thinking, "Not again." But quickly it spiraled off in a completely different direction and I spent the rest of the book enthralled. I REALLY enjoyed the part of the book that imagined what life was like for Neanderthals. The idea of mind migration was executed pretty well. There really wasn’t much talk of the mechanics, but the book worked without it.
This book touches on a lot of areas of social concern as of late. Corporate greed, terrorism and it’s impacts, futuristic science, parallel universes, etc. It is all woven together very well.
I would have liked to heard more about the extent to which terrorism/ISIS had created the world they were in. I was a little confused as to the extent of the damage and if these punks were just one offs, or if this was an epidemic.
I didn’t like the religion that was referenced in this book, but I guess that’s really unavoidable. Not a knock, just not my cup of tea.
Once again, Kevin Pierce did a wonderful job with this book. His accents are decent, but that drawl is still there. Very endearing!
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
