Intelligent Action

If you're interrested in a fast-paced thriller, and like dealing with numbers, and science to solve the puzzle, then this is a good book for you. It is an easy, intelligent read, that might go over the head of some of the other reviewers. Its similar action to Digital Fortress: A Thriller by Dan Brown. A great first novel for a new author.

AWESOME

I LOVED this book! It's rare that a thriller provides such interesting concepts to ponder. This is a smart book chocked with exciting scenes. It's a marvelous read and I can't wait to take the next journey Christopher Forrest will provide for his readers.

FAST PACED!!

For a first time novel I thought the book was great! I love to fly through books which are page turners and this is one those books. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot was so interesting and new. I have also really enjoyed the games. He has me hooked and I a cant wait for his next release! Amy Raymond-MI

It really makes you think..

Wonderful book. As events unfold, you begin to wonder "What if..." Gives you alot to think about as well as being a darned good story. This book kept me glued from start to finish, I never put it down. I am already anticipating a rumored sequel or second book by Mr. Forrest. And the ARG that started on the author's web page is thought provoking as well. I have learned quite a bit for the research done for the ARG. A must have for your leisure reading library.

Smart, exciting adventure

Just finished reading The Genesis Code, the debut novel by Christopher Forrest. Having read it cover to cover, it's definitely a page-turner. Full of adventure, but it's got smarts too - lots of Global Conspiracy stuff that draws on such diverse elements as the I-Ching, Mayan cosmology, and modern research into genetics and DNA coding. But it never gets too smart for its own good, so don't let the science intimidate you. Stands on its own as a great read - couple it with the online Alternative Reality Game (ARG) now in progress at www.thegenesiscode.com and you're in for some real excitement!
