review 1: While I tend to read more fantasy and sci-fi than regular fiction, the premise of this book caught my attention. And it was a worthwhile read, if not remarkable. I found the ethical questions raised interesting, and I think I will look for other books in future which deal with similar topics. However, I didn't find this book terribly well-written, and I feel like it could have been much better than it was, or perhaps that it should have gone in other directions or something...it had the beginnings of deep thought and exploration, and there was certainly revelation for many characters, but the story itself seemed somewhat directionless at times... or something. Perhaps more of a jumping-off point for certain topics than a deep and truly intriguing consideration, but thankfu... morelly not one of those books which goes on much longer than it should; and I didn't find myself disappointed in it at least, which is possibly the worst feeling I can have about a book--more irking, really, than a clearly, simply "bad" book. So, I'd give this one a "meh," but I can't say I disliked it.
review 2: I loved this book!!! The concepts it presents challenge the reader to think deeply about the influences of childhood family experiences, what "family" truly is, the subtleties of religious doctrine around the definition of life, the ripple effects of death, and much more. With that said, those concepts are woven into an engrossing story filled with well-developed, relatable characters. It kept me up reading well past my bedtime for more than one night, and I'll be mulling over the concepts and personalities in it for a long time to come. I highly recommend reading this unique book! less
