Graphic: Body horror and Murder
surumarssi's review against another edition
I flipped through a lot of it because I was curious about the plot but the writing didn't grip me. (And I'm annoyed by "lone genius" stories. The Frankenstein references seemed to miss the point of Frankenstein.) My biggest problem with it was that wrt to the pacing, I thought it should be a short story.
It's a weird book, I'm certain many disaster movies were inspired by it.

I think this is the first book I have started reading and given up on this year. The protagonist was awful and annoying, would never have lasted in any lab I've worked in as long as he did in Genetron's, and somehow only became more insufferable when he injected himself with his experiment. Ugh. Fortunately my partner reminded me that I could stop reading the book, and I instantly became three times as happy.

Great start and premise, diverges into something not expected but still overall good.
