The premise sounds interesting though and the clone idea kind of reminds me of The Island with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, a movie I had to analyze for one of my high school classes.

This does sound disturbing. I really don't know if I have much desire to read it but yet I find myself a little curious.

D: I'm not particularly good with disturbing books and well, this one sounds <i>intense.</i> I didn't expect it to be so dark (the cover is pink! <i>Pink</i>!) and I think I would probably struggle through this. But I'm glad that you still semi-enjoyed it up until the end? x) Fantastic review, Jenny!

Originally I wanted to get my grabby little hands on this book; I adore the shiny cover and the concept was fascinating (bioethics, bioengineering equates to a happy Leanne) but then I saw some negative reviews trickling in, so I put this at the back of my TBR list. I'll definitely keep your mostly positive opinion in mind, though! I'm pleased you liked it. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-14090512476579467862012-10-08T19:41:03.277-04:002012-10-08T19:41:03.277-04:00I've heard a lot of mixed reviews for this boo...I've heard a lot of mixed reviews for this book so I'll have to read more feedback before considering it.
