review 1: This was a very solid first novel. It had a complex main character, and a well-thought out plot and sub-plots. What I liked best was the author lit several fuses as the story moved along, and then without warning gave the reader the payoff in rapid doses with several explosive action scenes toward the end. Some nice twists and turns, keeping the reader guessing who was good and who was bad, and an ending that was designed (I'm hoping) to set up a sequel.
review 2: So this is a first novel and did I enjoy it?. Well yes, but with reservations, which I will explain.This is a fast paced (very fast paced) thriller about DNA sequencing and its consequences, so of the difficulties I had with this book is that you do not seem to get time to catch your breath from o... morene incident to the next one, you might think this is a good thing, but to be honest for me, I felt exhusted trying to absorb all that was happening, which brings me to the next point, which for many may be nothing at all, but for me the violence, destruction and body count put the book in like a "splatter" movie type presence (and that may well be what the author was trying to achieve), but it was not cartoonish so you could like, "laugh it off", I found it quite distubing in its depiction. As I said this may be what some readers want, but for me, it was uncomfortable at times.So the good, I like the story and the main characters, but if there was a message about messing about with DNA and what you might regret, then it was just lost in mayhem presented. The pace for me as I said was too quick, but others may find this to their liking, you certainly will not find yourself getting bored or waiting for the next bit of action.So in conclusion, it was not for me, but I am sure there are others out there who will find it is just their "cup of tea". less
