I'm told that the day I was born, Uncle Paolo held me against his white lab coat and whispered, "She is perfect."
Origin has an interesting premise. Pia has grown up in the Amazon jungle almost completely unaware of the world outside the Little Cam research community. She is the result of five generations of experimentation and genetic engineering. The goal, the quest, immortality. And with Pia, at last, they've done it. But it has required great sacrifice. Pia is blind to just how much sacrifice, especially in the beginning. She is so excited to be PERFECT and so excited to be the first of her kind, so trusting, so loyal that she just can't wait to become a scientist too. To take her place alongside those who have almost manufactured her. But one night Pia becomes curious, and what she discovers in the jungle changes everything...
I liked this one. I found it an interesting, fast-paced read.
Read Origin
- If you like science fiction (genetic engineering; quest for immorality)
- If you like mysteries and thrillers
- If you enjoy YA with a little romance
