*Worum geht's?*Pia ist perfekt. Jahrzehnte lang haben die Forscher von Little Cam, einer geheimen Forschungsstation im Dschungel, an dem Mittel gearbeitet, das Pias Existenz begründet: Immortis. Fünf Generationen hat es gedauert, bis ihre Arbeit Früchte trug, bis mit Pia ein neuer Mensch auf die Wel...
Origin by Jessica Khoury is a beautifully written book. It's clear from the first page that Khoury did her research on the plants and animals, the weather and customs of the jungle. Unfortunately, for a book whose plot should have been gripping, the tension gets lost in the beauty and character deve...

Via http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2012/11/origin-by-jessica-khoury.htmlI was so looking forward to reading this book. Pia was born in a secret lab deep in the jungle of the Amazon. She’s born perfect. She doesn’t get sick, her skin is like that of Superman – can’t be pinched by needles, she doesn’t g...
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise of this book, and overall it was a satisfying read. The setting was vibrant, interesting, mysterious, and quite tangible. I could smell the flowers and hear the thunder and feel the cool glass walls of Pia’s home in Little Cam.Pia was likewise vibrant; a sma...
