Summary: And girl created boy…
In the beginning, there was an apple—
And then there was a car crash, a horrible injury, and a hospital. But before Evening Spiker’s head clears a strange boy named Solo is rushing her to her mother’s research facility. There, under the best care available, Eve is left alone to heal.
Just when Eve thinks she will die—not from her injuries, but from boredom—her mother gives her a special project: Create the perfect boy.
Using an amazingly detailed simulation, Eve starts building a boy from the ground up. Eve is creating Adam. And he will be just perfect... won’t he?
Review: The cover of this book is what initially drew me in and then the synopsis sealed the deal. Also that Michael Grant is the co- author of this book made it a must read. I loved the storyline, it is original and filled with twists and turns. I also really like how each chapter is from a different POV. I also found Adam's POV to be extremely interesting.
I did enjoy the characters but I don't fee like there was any character growth, just story growth. I did like being on the journey of discovery that Eve went on. I liked the way the authors make you feel about the "villain" can switch at a minutes notice when new information is revealed. I loved Solo's character, he was so reserved but knew what he wanted and would do whatever he could to get it. Adam was my favourite character because he was the most interesting haha.
This is a great sci- fi read that is both interesting and original. I would love to see more of these characters. I would recommend this novel to sci- fi lovers.
About this author
I was born in a manger and grew up in a log cabin where I read law books by firelight. . . Oh, wait, that wasn't me, that was someones else.
I had a hard childhood. Hard for my parents. Not that bad for me. I was an Army brat, moved around a lot. Then I didn't settle down. I just kept moving. Why? What inner turmoil drove me? Mmmm, I gotta say none. I just have a short attention span. Easily bored.
I'm living in Tiburon, CA right now. How much longer? Don't know.
I've written 150 books. That's right, I said 150. In your face, Stephen King. Granted, mine are shorter than his. And less popular. And less likely to be made into a major motion picture. And I guess i don't play in a band with Dave Barry, either, do I?
Sorry: Salieri complex acting up.
Most of those books -- and by "most" I mean 149 out of 150 -- I wrote with my wife, the lovely, the talented, the eternally hot, Katherine (K.A.) Applegate. We've been together for 29 years. Which is a long time. Looooong time. Sweet lord what a long . . . No babe, I'm not implying anything.
Damn internets: you never know who's reading things.
Anyway, GONE. My goal in writing GONE? To creep you out. To make you stay up all night reading, then roll into school tired the next day so that you totally blow the big test and end up dropping out of school.
GONE. Imagine a world where every adult vanishes in an instant.
Coming soon, a whole other series: BZRK.
