review 1: This novel made me think about so many different things. Genetics and whether the genetic differences between humans are significant. What it would really be like to grow up as a total orphan, getting by in the wild. The exotic and corrupt country of Kazakhstan (which I never thought about visiting but now I do, and Istanbul too). What it would be like to have the mental and physical high-speed processing that the hero "Cono" has. How to decide who to help in your life. What is friendship. And all of those things are embedded in an intriguing espionage tale with lots of twisted, complicated characters. Problem: there are two connected characters, Irina and Katerina, and I wish it had been clear what the connection was; not enough explanation there. But a superb novel that ... moreI can easily see being turned into a Bourne-type movie.
review 2: So, I finally started reading this. Judging from the synopsis, I expected it to be a fun read. However, I'm about halfway through the book and I'm not sure what to make of it yet. The story hasn't piqued my curiosity enough to keep me turning the pages. Not to mention, I don't care a bit about the protagonist or any of the other characters for that matter. I'd have kept the book on-hold and put it aside until I felt like picking it up again someday, but owing to the fact that I received a copy of the book through Goodreads First Reads, I'm determined to finish it as soon as possible and come to a clear-cut conclusion regarding the book so that I can pen down a passable review. That, and I have hardly got anything on my plate these days, meaning I'm more or less jobless, so I need stuffs to help me kill time. less
