A review by silverberry
Dark Eden by Chris Beckett

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. It was hard to get used to the way that these people spoke initially and their unusual way of life, but soon it just became a place I looked forward to going back to to find out what would happen next. By the end I was thinking a lot about our ancient ancestors and the journeys they made to eventually populate the earth, and about the future of our species and our potential. A very enjoyable plot and incredibly thought provoking. I feel rather more proud of being human than I did before. Sad to leave the characters behind which is always a good sign when the end of a book is reached, although I do believe there is another book about this world. If so I will be reading it.
