Foe by Iain Reid

4.0

I've given it some time since I finished the book, and I am still not sure how I feel about it.

The reading experience was good, I was definitely enthralled in the narrative and curious about the nature of bizarre things that were happening.

However, it also left me confused. Either the author made some questionable decisions when designing the plot, or I have missed something crucial.

Mainly, I don't understand why they did a whole charade. Why did they tell the replica that he was going on a mission? They could have just let him believe he is living his life and turned him off when the real Junior comes back.


Perhaps there is a plan to expand that universe, and I read a few theories other readers have come up with in regards to the world where this story takes place.

Overall, I enjoyed the writing but it left me lost at the end.
