A doctor finds himself injecting chips under patients skin. This is the most I will say about this novel as I am amazed from reading it.
The doctor will now see you. Isn’t that what you want to hear while in the waiting room? After reading this book, I’m not sure. I must admit that technology seems to improve faster than I can keep up with it. I don’t think I would want to be “chipped.” So what if I’m not perfect? The novel gave me more details than what I wanted. I think it would had help the novel to be enjoyed more if there was some mystery instead of details. It is an interesting read but at times tedious. Read at your own risk!
Excellent storytelling style, you can't help but like the protagonist from the start, and become invested in his story so quickly that before you know it, hours have passed and you're well into the book!
I am having a hard time with this book because despite the fact that is very though provocking: chips that can better people, curing them of ailments, making them better and stronger, but at the same time, becoming easily controlled by the government; conspiracys from the government, such as manipulating people on wanting the chip in the same way that we all now have a GPS tracker with our smartphones; and instaling the chip in unsuspected patients...
... I can't stand the narrative. It dissects everything and explains it to us thousands of times in different ways wasting lots and lots of pages. Sometimes you are drowned by all of this chatter, as it really could have been summarised A LOT as it wasn't really needed to begin with. One example. Two. Okay. Four or five pages of examples after every two pages of book progress... boring. Annoying.
So... kuddos for the main idea and plot. Not so much for execution. I think culling the gibberish talk would leave a great book.
1'5-2 stars for plot
I loved loved loved this book. Vivid, lush descriptions that took me to that magical place on my head and made me feel I was part of that world. Fully written and execution is flawless. I am a new freaking fan. Will be looking for more from this talented author. My review is the first and only o e up for now on amazon under my name Kimberly-Aisha Hashmi
