5/10, as far as a “psychological thriller” but as a regualr book maybe a 6.5/10 It was a good book just not what I was looking for. It was more of a sci-fi technology book and had some interesting scenes, but overall wasn’t what I expected. Good storyline and plot, though.
I loved this book! Having read some of the reviews before it there was one that gave away a slight spoiler but it didn’t ruin my reading experience. Towards the end I was a little confused so might read it again but I thought it was very clever, original and enthralling. A total page turner, highly recommended I couldn’t put this down, especially with the lovely short chapters, right up my street.
Thank you to netgalley for sending me an advanced copy! This book was not what I was expecting at all right from the beginning! Great read! I found it a very interesting perspective. The ending I feel a little confused by but it definitely got me thinking. It's an interesting concept and definitely glad I read it! I recommend it!
I was really looking forward to reading this book; it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. It wasn’t a thrill ride, nor was it a fast read, but I did enjoy it. The hi-tech ride it does take you on is interesting and a little mind bending. It is thoughtful and makes you wonder about our future…
