🎧 What a unique and creative mind John Marrs has. He just creates a whole other world that might seem far fetched but with the world we currently live in not so much and it really works. This book is set in the same world as ‘The One’ and ‘The Passengers’, so you might be better to start with those first, although this doesn't contain many spoilers for them. There are a lot of characters to get to grips with which did take me some time. As much as it’s an interesting storyline I didn’t find it gripped me as much as other reads by him. I think that may be down to the amount of characters and there is A LOT going on within their backstories, present lives and relationships along with the experiment itself. I didn’t find the characters overly likeable but maybe that was the idea. But that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it as it’s a well developed storyline that certainly gets you thinking. Would definitely recommend.
