I agree with you on this one. For me, Sci-Fi is better watched than read. The complex environments and characters are a bit of a hard read.There is a great deal of scientific explanation included in parts of the novel. I admit that, for me, this simply caused my eyes to glaze over as I went into a kind of daze. I appreciated the fact that the authors were trying to make this seem plausible (and I know that there are those who will enjoy this), but it didn't add much for me.

It definitely does get you thinking. Who knows... it could be a dilemma we all face one day!klbradley wrote:Sounds like this one is definitely a read that will get you thinking! I really like the premise behind the story, the idea of living forever can be intriguing for sure!

Thank you! I really appreciate that. It is interesting, and there are two more books planned. It will be a while before they come out, though.Excitedreads wrote:I'm not much of a fan of overwhelming science, neither cliffhangers, but i like the idea of exploring the idea of living eternally.. seems like an interesting piece. I may try this one, who knows. Thank you for your thoughts though. I always enjoy reading your reviews and the realism you put into it.

There is a girl in it, but she's not really the main character per se. Thanks for commenting.Ama Idim wrote:I expected a girl, seeing the title but it's no problem the theme is nice and I enjoyed reading your review.

If you read it, let me know what you think. I always love a good second opinion.Afuglsan wrote:I'd like to give this one a try. I love fantasy and I am a scientist, so I think I'd be one of those who enjoyed a good, thorough explanation of the science.
