A scientific thriller that moved a bit slow in the middle.
Helpful Score: 1
Really makes you think. Couldn't put it down.
I was surprised to find I really enjoyed this book, as I usually don't read this type. Plenty of action, although it does move a bit slow a few times. Sort of X-Files creepy. Although it's kind of sci-fi, it seems like something that could be happening now. It will make you think.
Excellent book with a surprise ending.
"Doctors Frankenstein and Jekyll have nothing on this bunch. THE EXPERIMENT is a thrilling life-extension science-gone-mad novel for smart people, with some intriguing ideas about what our future may hold" -- John Sandford
This book reminded me very much of the movie "The Island" When I started reading it, I thought that it must be the book the movie was based on, but it is not. A really good read with lots of food for thought. This could be happening right now.
I found this better than Neanderthal. A good suspenseful read.
A fast paced 480 pages.
good read. unusual plot.
A few nice twists, but overall somewhat predictable. Good book for wasting away a rainy day.
