"Wonderful debut novel. An intriguing thriller with a lot basis in reality - per the author, the science and methods discussed while not currently being used are not that far in the future. Highly recommended for fans of thrillers."

— Joshua (4 out of 5 stars)

    " My neighborhood book club won 12 beautiful copies of this book. In the interest of gratitude and adventure we read it. We all found it a quick and easy read, but that was the best we could say about it. The characters were flat, the narrative void of color and the plot dictated by a leftist agenda. We did enjoy an interesting and respectful interview with the author and had a great bookclub discussion. "

    " this book totally creeped me out. It was good. But all I could think of is that this is our future if someone like Rick Santorum would ever become president. "

    " Was trying to decide if I wanted to try to finish this book. I realized that if it isn't good enough for me to recommend to someone else, I don't want to waste my time finishing it. Moving on. "

    " Great first novel! She really understands the mind of a religious fundamentalist. Some of the characterization is a little clumsy, but no worse than James Patterson. "

    " Disappointing. After reading the blurb, I thought this was going to be a fast paced medical thriller. Instead it was an entire book devoted to the debate over abotion rights and embryonic stem cell research. Religion vs. science. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Interesting topics explored in this book -- embryonic stem cell research and future legislation that criminalizes it and various aspects of pregnancy. It was quite predictable and the characters were 2-dimensional. "

    " This book had an intriguing plot. I enjoyed, however, I felt like something was missing. I was entertained enough that I will read more by this author. "

    " The religious arguments (meanderings?) were difficult to relate to. The story seemed, oddly enough, to sit backseat to the one dimensional setting created to support it. However, thoroughly seeped in controversy, the book does incite the reader's emotions and create an urgency to flip the pages. "

    " Solid structure, a touch bland at times. The pacing is good with a handful of throwaway scenes that should be cut. All in all, not too bad. "

    " Well, this started off really well but quickly went downhill. I liked what the story made me think about but I couldn't stand the characters. I rated it 3 solely because the book can create good conversations. Otherwise it would be a 2. "

    " Thought this would be more of a fast paced mystery type book but sadly the main focus of the book was religion vs science which was very dissapointing. NOT A BOOK FOR CHRISTIAN READERS "
