3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting ideas but too much sex for me,
By
This review is from: Scorpianne (Paperback)
I was attracted to the "biotech-ruled world" in the blurb on this book, but this anatomically correct novel seemed to be half genetics and half genitals.Despite dwelling at length outside of my comfort zone, I found the story to be an intriguing one. The mysterious history of our heroine Lucy is well played out, and all of the characters feel real and significant. The basic premise of this story is appropriate and important in these early days of cloned animals. I also liked the glimpses of the possible future life on Mars and Earth, and the future of enhanced human appearance. All in all I found this a bit off-putting but an interesting read nonetheless.

This was my first Emily Devenport novel and I fell in love with her style. She creates gritty three-dimensional heroines that are a gas to read about. Her story lines are unique and fast paced. I recommend all of Emily Devenports books.

Scattered,
By Evan the Dweezil - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scorpianne (Paperback)
This book either needed to be a solid scifi romance or a piece of erotica with futuristic overtones. What the reader is stuck with is an inane compilation of action scenes and half-realized sex scenes without much of a solid story beneath. Lucy, who in the end comes off as a sort of spineless character, is dragged through one bit of trouble after another. None of the cast lives up to a partial potential. The overall moral message of the book is lost in layers of vapidness.
Having liked all of Ms. Davenport's books I've read up to this one, I'm sad that this one didn't join in with that club. I'm glad I know she's done much better work. If I'd started with this volume, I'd have missed out on amazing books like Godheads. 6 of 9 people found the following review helpful:
