Fantasy Review BarnThe best speculative fiction takes a what-if? scenario and then explores the possible consequences of that idea. This book certainly does that. It proposes that a cure for aging is found, a process which stops the body's natural senescence so that a person using it remains forever...
A funny thing happened when I finished this book. Immediately after reading the final page I flipped back to the opening pages to read about John as he was in the start of the story, his reasons, his motivations, to see how much he changed.It was an interesting read.The world was creepy, horrific an...
Hmmm...dystopian society, grim, dark but I didn't buy into all of it. There were moments that I was pulled out (like woman having a forever menstrual cycle-obviously author is a male who doesn't realize that women are born with a finite # of eggs) and had a hard time getting back into it. The overal...
While there were moments of infodump, especially in the beginning, that made me sideeye the book a little bit, overall this was very good, with perfect pacing. A lot of works address the problems with and consequences of immortality, but I felt like this one maybe gave the best overall picture that ...
When I saw the audio book for The Postmortal on the shelf at my library, I was intrigued. I will admit that I almost gave up on this book halfway through. I thought I was a bit slow in the beginning. But it eventually picked up. After a scientist mistakenly discovers the gene for aging, he develop...

Es el tipo de ciencia ficción sutil en la que los cambios y avances del futuro no han cambiado demasiado la forma en que vivimos como sociedad. Es hasta que aparece la "cura" que comienza a p...
Over the weekend, I discovered The Walking Dead on Netflix. My wife and I watched the entire first season — all six episodes — back-to-back, and are now officially hooked on it. I’m still thinking about it, and considering reading the graphic novel series, but I don’t want to spoil anything about ...
Though I'd classify it as "rated-R for extreme violence and sexual content," this book was one that was really thought-provoking, which is why I liked it. It's all based on the premise that a "cure" for aging has been discovered, and follows a perpetually-29-year-old's eighty year journey through h...
I received The Postmortal a while ago and didn’t get around to picking it up until recently. Which was a mistake, as this is a very entertaining satirical commentary on human nature. Partly dystopian, The Postmortal delves into a world where there’s a cure for aging – and what happens when our bases...
