Wow ... just wow! This is so different from anything I have ever read. I picked this up as I thought it would be a quick read and the author is a kiwi like me. I went into it fairly blind, which is after reading this thought provoking and incredible book, is the best way to do it. This is not a qu...
Anax thinks she knows history. Her grueling all-day Examination has just begun, and if she passes, she’ll be admitted into the Academy—the elite governing institution of her utopian society. But Anax is about to discover that for all her learning, the history she’s been taught isn’t the whole story....
This book tells a good story. Unfortunately for me, the method by which it delivers that good story bored me half to death. This interesting look at the possible future consists of roughly 70% dry exposition couched as an academic oral exam and 30% philosophical debate on whether machines can actual...
What if there's an unstoppable outbreak spreading all across the world, wiping out whole populations, and the only area left unaffected is an island closed off from any contact with the mainland? This is the state of the world in Genesis. Guards on the island have been instructed to terminate on...

Don't let the short page count fool you into thinking this is a quick read. Genesis is dense with philosophical debate. Told entirely in re-telling, Genesis is the story of a society's beginnings and their biggest anti-hero.Easily the most shocking and intense endings I've read in a long time.
I absolutely loved this book.The style of writing was very original and easy to follow, even though it was like reading two stories at once. The ending was unexpected, but still satisfactory. All in all, a good thought provoking book.
After finishing this book well over a month ago, I am still tempted to make my review only a few words. Wow, fucking amazing! That’s really every single emotion I have about this book all wrapped up into a succinct package. Also, by talking about the plot too much I will probably give things away...
This, then, is dystopia.A short, but compelling story that will make you think and question the world you've come to know and trust. Actually, no, let me correct myself. It is not so much a story as a subtle revelation of the fragile existence of mankind which throws a harsh light on just how much w...
