I like the way the narrative is told and emotional depth the characters have, after reading a while it was clear we were in an emotional and moral voyage, the characters develop deep and memories remain with you for a long time, never let the memories go.

Read for yourself. It’s something that will bring about a lot pondering over the entire being of a ‘human’. From our insecurities, our desires, selfishness, everything. I can’t put this across in a very good way. Read for yourself.

This dystopian novel is set in a future world. Poignant language. It poses some ethical questions about our scientific practices.

Deep, insightful and though it’s got an element of sci-fi to it, the emotions and feelings it evoked within me have left me with more questions and thoughts on humanity. How we view ourselves, our formative years and the role it plays as life moves on gets beautifully expressed in this piece of art.
