I think I’m disappointed. I had long expected this book to contain some more SCIENCE to its -fiction, yet mostly it dealt with drama and confusing or blurring the lines of reality.

-The ideas in this book are interesting but i really did not like the actual story or writing style.
-This does not need to be as graphic as it is.
