A review by besolfulliving
Looking Glass by Andrew Mayne
4.0
”Neuroscientists say they can predict an action our mind has decided to take moments before our conscious mind has even decided what we think we’re going to do. The function of consciousness, they argue, isn’t to make decisions, but to rationalize them after the fact. It’s our brain’s way of explaining why we did things—a kind of public-relations office that turns our id into a rational actor and not some lizard monkey acting out of fear.”
This series is turning out to be entertaining and enjoyable! Nerdy scientist, Theo Cray, returns once again as an unconventional hero (aka crazy!) in another fast paced novel. There were moments when I was on the edge of my seat and holding my breath...and questioning who, how, and why??? But then there were the far fetched moments (just like the first book) and unanswered questions which is why I didn’t give Looking Glass five stars.
Science, psychology, forensics, humor, and suspense combined with some references to real life serial killers made this book a hard one to put down. I appreciated the author’s attention to detail without being overly graphic...especially since this specific installment focused on young children. I’m looking forward to the third book!
