_dear_reader_ 's review for:
The Doors of Eden
by Adrian Tchaikovsky
This was my first Adrian Tchaikovsky book and I really wanted to love it but I didn’t. I know a couple of people who have raved about his work and another who loved this one so it was likely just not my cup of tea.
The writing itself was brilliant, the plot so intricate and some great characters so I know people will love it. It gave me Northern Lights and Island of Doctor Moreau vibes, and it was at those points I was most interested. Part crime, thriller, mystery and sci-fi, it has a lot going for it; creature hunting, super computers, rips in the universe, political and social issues, the secret service, evolutionary science...
...it just wasn’t for me so I don’t want to say anymore and put people off what is actually a great book.
Thank you for NetGalley for my copy in Exchange for an honest review.
