I really enjoyed this book. I did not know what to expect and it had twists and turns all over the place. It kept me quite engaged!
This novel takes an original "what if" and runs with it, with the rest of the story just like our actual world. It's a humorous, engaging, unpredictable and enjoyable read.
The One by John Marrs asks a question. Would you take a test that would identify the person you are meant to spend your life with? Two things make this such a fun book to read. The first is that there are surprises. Some of the plot twists I can see coming, but some catch me off guard. The second is that the book does not answer the question. It takes the reader along for what proves to be a quick, page-turning ride.

This book is a hard one for me to rate. It was quite a struggle for me to get through. In the end Marrs proves (as in his other books I have read) to be a clever and imaginative writer, though maybe a bit deranged, as well? (I mean that in a good way, of course.) However, I didn't really like any of the characters much. I don't read romance and the details of sexual attraction (particularly between two gay men) was not something I care to read. I have nothing against being gay, I just don't want to read about the romantic details. I felt this was such an interesting premise but it wasn't quite what I expected in execution. The narration was mostly good. I can see where many readers of psychological thrillers would truly enjoy this book. I'm sad to say I didn't enjoy it.
