Couldn’t put it down!
Maybe next time.
Not as good as other sci-fi I’ve read by him (and I wish he wouldn’t use vulgar language! A bit to gory for my taste.
Good twists, but I wanted more about the ethics of cloning from the characters
The Tomorrow Gene is an interesting concept of immortality turned morally wrong. There’s a neat twist at the end that turns the entire novel dark, bringing the reader to an astonishing conclusion and begs for a sequel.
Hard to get into very strange premise. Very disturbing
I enjoyed the subject matter but got bored with short interjected sentences about the characters false identity and emotional instability. His id and emotional state could have been covered once in the beginning and then let go.
Good plot good characters
A goog read, if a little far fetched. Aside from the stretches in technology, which you would expect in a science fiction book the question of how the money was originally raised to create Eden and the amount of time it would take to actually complete it seems as far fetched as the science.
interesting ideas
I was actually so disappointed with the coarse language and inferences that I stopped reading before getting past the first third of this book – which is too bad since it seemed as if it had an interesting storyline.
Loved this book, but it ends abruptly.
Wierd
Cloning, not curing. Surprise was obvious a little early but very imaginative.
It’s hard to keep track of the details that seem figments of a madman’s mins and the ones that could be real. The machinations of the various players are Cobourg beyond reason and the end game being played is longer than is apparent until the very last paragraph. Cliffhanger anyone? It was a fun, fast read.
Good read- getting book 2
Difficult to get into
This was an very interesting read. Suspenseful and completely engaging. Great fun.
Interesting, but a little too convoluted in a contrived way. Started to lose my attention with the multiple shifts on what was real, etc.
Boring.
