Eva

Rating:
Summary: Interesting, but not that great...
Review: You probably know the story line from some other reviews, so I'll just cut to the chase. Eva was interesting, and sometimes (and ONLY sometimes) did I really get engrossed in it. The whole story line seems a bit far-fetched, but the author almost tries to make it sound like the setting is in the near-future. The whole "nerve memory" thing just doesn't quite cut it with us cynical readers. And also, throughout the entire book, Eva made theories and assumptions that I believe are far beyond the reach of a thirteen year old. Dickinson should do a bit more research on young people (especially teenagers) before trying to create a believable character. Besides that, I thought that it was a mediocre book, if you like that kind of science-fiction, non-realistic type stories...
