review 1: I've already forgotten what I thought about his book. It seemed derivative. In fact, rightly or wrongly, brought to mind David Mitchell's "An Orison of Sonmi--451" in Cloud Atlas. I don't think that Crone has completely imagined her dystopian futuristic society. Something is missing to make it both convincing & engaging. I don't know what that something is. It just doesn't, for the most part, seem "new" to me in its vision.
review 2: This book is so prescient. I live in New Orleans, and Moira Crone has caught the city as it is and as it may very likely be in the future. Her dystopian, fantastical novel has its own fully realized world, one with its own culture and language, and it hooks you from the very beginning. Her characters are quirky, amazing, ... morestrange and all very well developed. Malcolm, her protagonist, has been groomed all his life to be one of the elite, those who live long and privileged lives, who may get the chance to live forever. His journey of discovery about the lives of the elite and about love and what he truly believes in makes for a suspenseful page turner. This book is one of my favorites; it is mesmerizing. less
