review 1: Weird in a druggy sort of way. Not very scientific nor totally logical but an intriguing if degenerate story. Interesting enough to keep reading but not something I would care to read about again. Probably a good description of the decent into drug dependence and the paranoia and loss of reason associated with a bad downfall into addiction, but I really can not judge as this is far out of my realm of experience.
review 2: This books takes place only a few decades in the future, and aside from EGOS, the future looks very much as it does today. That was a refreshing twist on the sci-fi novel. EGOS are a dna cocktail people inject into themselves, allowing them to become a famous celebrity, historical figure or fictional character for about 8 hours. Thus the main ... morecharacter in the book is at times Indiana Jones, Captain Kirk, Holden Caulfield, or Elvis Presley. Shortly into the books we realize there is something seriously wrong with EGO-using, and its beginning to cause major psychological problems in frequent users. Perhaps this was the hook of the book, and I just didn't enjoy that angle? It seemed the narration was so repetitive and that seriously interrupted the flow of the story. I couldn't decide if the author didn't realize he'd already told us all this, or if the character had forgotten due to his mental status. Either way it was highly annoying and I found myself scanning the last 4th of the novel to simply find out how it ended. The premise is a good one, but I didn't enjoy the reality of it. less
