Pippin & The Book Next Door rated it 9 years ago
There is something about books that just makes you enjoy them in the back of the subconscious, despite the excessive criticism your conscious mind has to offer. I haven't exactly named an effect for this, but I certainly know it is there. For example (and this is a rather overused one), The Hunge...

Trained from birth to be graceful, demure, and perfect, these "family companions" enter their masters' homes prepared to live a l...

The idea behind this book is appalling, yet the story was intrigung. The American government passes a law that allows the uber wealthy to OWN genetically engineered girls as PETS. Sick, right? Perfected follows the, pretty predictable, story of pet Ella. Ella goes to live with a congressman and his...

this book and I have an odd sort of relationship with one another. I actually didn't mind the literal objectification of women - the way it was handled was good to me, nice and direct with how it was wrong to treat human beings as if you could own them simply because of your privilege. however, I di...

Wow. Sometimes a single word can sum it up and "wow" does that. Perfected is chilling, emotionally horrifying, and the implications are disturbing. And I loved everything about it! Ella has been genetically engineered to become the perfect showcase piece for the very wealthy. She has been trained ...

Dank ihrer begeisterten Rezension bekam ich ebenfalls Lust, das Buch zu lesen und bestellte es bei der nächsten sich bietenden Gelegenheit gleich mit. Ich versuche sonst, mich nicht so s...

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. No other consideration was offered, expected or received. This is a very interesting and fun story, where the family pet is a human specially bred, raised in a kennel and trained. But there’s more to her than that, just like there...

Amazing. Just what I needed to read right now. I absolutely fell in love with a story concept of humans returning to the role of slaves. People can't really get much more depraved than when owning a human being. Only this time we've endeared the slaves as "pets" to help soften the blow. Well, sort o...

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you! Meet Eight (later Ella), who's genetically engineered and groomed and trained to be sit, smile and look pretty. The perfect pet! What? A law is passed to allow people to keep these gir...

I received a review copy of this book for my stop on the blog tour at Donnie Darko Girl. Perfection horrified me and captivated me at the same time. Reading about human beings bred and trained as pets was like a train wreck I couldn't look away from - you know it's wrong to look, but you can't stop ...
