Customer Reviews

Prodigy far exceeded my expectations!

I read Prodigy in a matter of days - the first time I read it :-)I honeslty picked it up just as a throw-away read when it first came out on paperback but I still have the book years later - for good reason - I loan it to everyone I can.The best summary of the book involves a comparison with a similar, perhaps more widely read work by Robin Cook - Mutation. Like Mutation, Prodigy involves a brilliant father who gets a little too interested in protecting and enhancing his future child through genetci manipulation.This manipulation leads to a twin set of primary characters, the father and his daughter who really both end up as protaganists but simltaneously as ongoing victims in the story which turns on the introduction of another mysterious character.I really enjoed this book and am in the processs of trying to continue to acquire other books by Mr. Stewart. I really recommend this book to anyone who enjoys any of the suspense/medical suspense/or light-horror genres.
