Truly a germinal text in the crafting of the cinematic masterpiece Spy Kids 2: the Island of Lost Dreams.

Good story, thrilling, well written, with deeper layers of a.o social criticism. Still a topical story if you change vivisection with DNA manipulation.

Strange, repetitive, racist, made me think of devo a lot (are we not men?!), but also imaginative, fast-paced, x-filesy, and curious.

On reread, liked it more and if I was still using star ratings, it'd be bumped to a 4*. In addition, this is the closest thing that I've found to a book like the tv show, Orphan Black. It clearly inspired the show, particularly in the mid-later seasons. I want more books like Orphan Black.

Original rating: 3* and no review.
