Customer Reviews

Not what I expected

I purchased this book based on the rave reviews on other book sites and clubs.The book is 400 pages and has 85 chapters. The story follows 5 different characters: Flick, Bruno, Charlie, Sinead and Emilia in the not so distant future. Each have been chosen to have national security secrets implanted in their DNA to keep the secrets safe from hacking/terrorism. The author takes a great deal of time with backstory and for me, didn't really get started until page 213. There were many holes in the plot and it wasn't particularly interesting. I kept reading to see what everyone else was talking about that made it a 'must read' book--but I never did find it.
