I really enjoyed this book. At the beginning it was really slow at getting off with the story but once you got into the book it was very good. I did like the setting because where the setting took place that is where the most interesting parts happened. I liked the plot as well. I do recommend it to readers. I would give it atleast 4 stars if not 5. The type of people who would enjoy this would be people who like to read mystery's but I believe anyone would like this book.

This books makes for a great middle school read aloud!

The main character, Jack, his brother, Troy, and his grandmother, Gram, are very likable characters. The plot kept my interest and wanting more, but yet I was slightly disappointed in this sci-fi thriller. The idea of a "perfect family" was troubling.

worst book ive ever read
more predictable than a hallmark movie and it was so stupid
read in 8th grade english
book made me want to die it genuinely is so awful i still have it and when i look at it a piece of me dies

it was good.

It was good but creepy

This book was super good. Ms. Lancaster read it out loud last year! Steven Layne is very talented.

I found this book very entertaining with its suspenseful twists and turns, some were more obvious than others.

Different than I expected. Easy to skim through. I especially enjoyed the ending and the Epilogue.

Rating: 1.5

As a person not very adoring of debate authors that are self-published, I was hesitant. The thing is, self-published authors often don't edit their books or work too much upon it.

Needless to say, this book needed a lot of work. I loved the plot, really. A crazy dad with a multi-personality disorder? Whoo! Also, a kick-ass grandma? That's just BEGGING to be read. So, I started getting into the book. But there was still something missing.



Oh yeah... Characters with PERSONALITIES. Is that too much to ask, really? Even the gram got so fake it made me want to become friends with the nearest trash can. The main character, 17-year-old Jack, didn't act his age. Never ever EVER write a book for teens and then screw up the characters that are their age. That's like setting a death wish. I don't know... I couldn't connect with Jack. He didn't think or act like a teen and that's just... ARGH!!

Even the Grandma character got a bit... Exasperating, to say the least. The personalities were bland and more than a bit boring.

Oh wait.... You can't have a bad book without a bad romance! Jack and Jory by themselves were annoying, but then Jory's sister and Troy??? How in the hell-o is it appropriate for two brothers to date two sisters. Ugh. Haha I just didn't get that.

It did have a good thing though. It was fast-paced, and I guess that's why I'm giving it an extra .5.

Really confusing and kind of CREEPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the book was okay. I could not believe the lengths to which this man would go to create his version of the perfect family when he should know that no one family is ever going to be perfect no matter what he tries to do.
