Sci-Fi Thriller to the Max

Wow, Once I started reading "Jupiter's Daughter" I couldn't put it down. Continualy leaves you wondering what will happen next, who will survive, and what is in store for Genny's future. The ending was a shock that leaves you anxious for the sequel to come out. Rumor is that a screen play is in the works. I can't wait!

This is the best book ever, that I have ever read.

I first heard of this great book from a book-report at school. From the name, I could tell that I would like this book. After that day at school I began a quest to get this book. It took 5 different trips (and 3 months) to various book stores to find out that the book was out of print. I was devistated by this news. I really wanted to read this book. When my mother and I went to the library I saw an oppertunity. I look for the book in the card catalog and.......to my stars it was there. I was so happy. I finally got to read my book. The only problem that I face right now is that I don't want to return the book, but of course I have to. I just WISH that I could have this book FOR MY VERY OWN =o(. If anyone has an extra copy of this great book, please contact me at my websight

Terrific, fast-paced read

I picked this one up at a small airport and didn't expect much from the cover, but before we were off the ground I was hooked. A thrilling read about genetics and DNA tampering that's hard to put down. It's almost a mixture of Michael Crichton and Richard Preston - a combination that's hard to beat!

Review/Summary for Jupiter's Daughter By Greg May

Up there with the best of Michael Crichton, stands Jupiter's Daughter. Coming from a relatively unknown author, this book stands out in my mind as one of the best examples of an enjoyable, fast-paced, fact-filled, brilliantly plotted, and just plain great book. The characters are well developed and believable, and the genetic premises of the book give some interesting views on the ethics and morality of genetic tampering. All in all, if you're looking for a great read, and you like books such as Jurassic Park, I'd definitely reccomend Jupiter's Daughter.
