Title: Stock genetic thriller
Review: As already noted in the reviews, the book has all the elements of the genetically-engineered-child-as-bad-seed books that seem to be proliferating lately. You've got the betrayed wife, the amoral doctor who crosses the line into evil, the helpless friends, the works. While it's not terribly plotted, there is also nothing interesting or new.Furthermore, the writing style is uneven. While it picks up steam later in the book, the first few chapters read like a writing workshop exercise, with one adjective per sentence-- "blinding brightness", "bitterly cold", "perfect blanket", and "southern sky"-- and this all in only the first (short) paragraph.
Is the review positive or negative?
