The End of Ordinary: A Novel by Edward Ashton

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

Another interesting book by Ashton dealing with the difficulty society will have when (the author presumes) custom genetic enhancement becomes everyday. This follows the same writing structure as his first novel - with each chapter written with the voice - and viewpoint - of each in a small handful of progenitors.

This one (compared to Three Days in April, his first outing), seems a bit more far-fetched at the end of it all. Maybe not as easily accepted.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the read.

Now, on to the next thing.
