Wow just wow! Very thought-provoking and somewhat disconcerting story. Definitely recommend reading or listening to it.
Mind blowing

Boring
Review from One Last Scream →
Living in Washington and listening to narrator mispronounce Wenatchee for 14 hours was obnoxious. Wen At Chee, not Wu not chee. UGH! Aside from that, the book drug on. No surprises, No twists. I really like this author, but dang! What happened?
Boring!

Almost didn’t finish! Snooze fest of rich people problems boring AI, and spoiled kids. Not sure if the narrator meant to sound like a robot on purpose. Cannot believe this was an Oprah bookclub pic but then again maybe I can.
I am not an AI fan

Disliked the whole bookDidn’t really hold my attention. Not as interesting as I was told and was recommended.
fantastic story line. I love that all his books are set in Washington. The descriptions of places and characters are top notch! Absolutely love this man’s work! Stacy Carlin’s narration is absolutely fantastic every time! Far superior narration than any others!
Why the Change?
Review from Bittersweet Addiction →
This book was described as a multicultural book a bwwm book series. That is what I paid for. It really is more than a disappointment when you don’t get what you paid for. It’s a rip off. I did enjoy the story but it could have been even more interesting if the original premise had..
I was engulfed in this story right from the get-go. Very well written, and the narration is perfect. I was never able to see what was coming next. And it really makes you think.
Fun but a bit outdated and less serious than I expected.
Review from Steal This Book (50th Anniversary Edition) →
If you are looking to learn more about Abby Hoffman’s politics this isn’t the best place to start. the book is from an era where people could not look things up in their phone in a second. I would say probably 90% of this book is information that the average interested reader would have already..
Thought provoking read

I wasn’t too excited to read (via Audible) this one, but because it was a book club choice…I delved in. I was surprised to enjoy the story as much as I did. Good characters, some cringey political opinions, but overall a really good story.
Implications of AI
Review from Culpability →
This novel really brings to the reader dozens of questions and moral quandaries regarding the presence of, development of and influence of AI in our daily lives as the story unfolds around a family before, during and after a crisis.
