Review by bambina135 -- Project Tau by Jude Austin
[Following is a volunteer review of "Project Tau" by Jude Austin.]
Kalin Taylor was a student at the prestigious Sanderson College of Arts and Sciences when he tried to join a fraternity club. The club leader, who didn't want this 'chubby nerd' in his frat, told Kalin that the only way to join was by sneaking into GenTech and getting a picture of the elusive 'Project Tau'. Projects are essentially clones of people made to do services or labor that humans can't or don't want to do. Kalin is, of course, unsuccessful at breaking into the maximum security prison, but the dire consequences of one stupid frat stunt change not only his life, but the way he views the world and projects themself.
Project Tau by Jude Austin takes place in a far distant future, where mankind has spread out across planets and science has come almost too far. Along with the main character, the book follows the stories of many different people as their views and morals are tested and changed throughout the chapters. Project Tau is a book about morality, ethics, and humanity.
I easily give this book 4 out of 4 stars. if there were a higher rating, i wouldn't hesitate to use it. Jude Austin's gorgeous writing and equally fantastic story deserve it, not to mention that I didn't notice a single mistake. Everything about it is so incredible and unique that I'm surprised it came from an author I'd never heard of. I would've expected this quality of book to have a New York Times Bestseller sticker and a $30 price tag. She had my attention from the beginning and held onto it with an iron grip, which is not something many authors can say.
What I liked most about Project Tau would be the characters and their development. Each and every character introduced has so many layers and personalities that they feel real. Nobody is one dimensional, not even the one-off extras. As for what i liked least, there are themes in the book that can make any reader uncomfortable, but I can't be upset because the story wouldn't be half as powerful without them. Jude Austins intention with this book was to make the reader think, and I'd say she did a wonderful job of that. It's strange to read the book from the beginning and realize just how much your opinions change over the course of the story.
As much as I adore this book, however, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who isn't prepared to read something with themes of violence, mental illness, or sexual assault, as they are present, nor anyone who is offended or upset by swears, as profanity begins as early as page 2. If you can handle these things, though, and are looking for a book that will challenge and thrill you, this is definitely for you.
