elli143 's review for:
Brilliance
by Marcus Sakey
This book wasn't quite what I expected.
The premise was intriguing - a world of "brilliants," gifted people with talents that far surpassed the normal population. Not quite super powers, but close enough. I thought this was going to be much more focused on the brilliants and their talents. But instead, this book was more of a rogue cop thriller focused far more on tactics and gunfights than the people with exceptional talent.
It was a page turner, and I had a hard time putting it down. It just wasn't quite what I was hoping for. If you like thrillers, definitely give this one a shot. It's apparently being optioned for a movie.
