Computer geeks, political agendas, and implantable knowledge systems?! My what a technologically-twisted plot this one must offer. Thank you for your honest and helpful impressions!

The character names in this book are interesting — sounds like code names. I think the book has an interesting storyline. I'll check it out.

Sounds like an awesome read. I wonder what Citizen A had to go through to reach Elf. I am adding the book to my shelf. Thanks for the review.

This one sounds a little too far-fetched for me. Each of the subjects in isolation is plausible but the mix doesn't work for me. Thanks for a well-rounded review.

Interesting title. The characters seem well developed. Love, politics, and sci-fi can be an interesting combination.

I love character-driven stories so I'm feeling compelled by your mentioning that the characters, even the side ones, felt real and well done to you. Great review!

Latest Review: The Art of Pleasure by Julia Steed

Post by elisathelvarik »

The book actually sounds very creative and interesting. Other than the romance element, I have never delved into any stories with a political aspect. I am not quite sure about the blend of said things with a bit of crime, politics, and romance. It seems to be action-packed from the way it sounds. I am not sure if it is tailored to my tastes, but I would be willing to give it a try regardless of the opinionated government stances. This is a very revealing review that got me to look at a book that I don't think I would have picked for myself at all.

Especially at times like this, we can all do without preachy political ideals but I'm so glad to see the book wraps up neatly. I may read and see how it ends, to see whats going on there.

An investigation into a future that is oddly familiar, with one twist: knowledge doesn't have to be earned, but can instead be "downloaded". Like you, I am wary of the political commentary, but the premise is interesting enough that I am willing to give this one a shot. Thank you for your review, and congratulations on Book of the Day!

I love a unique blend of sci-fi fantasy and a forbidden romance. I am curious to know why the population haven't been given names and are simply referred to as "Citizen A" etc. Intriguing premise that I hope to dive into soon. Thank you for your well-written review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

Fictions and Sci-fi reads, most of this stories are for a little resemblance of what future might look likes, no wonder the author's stretching of the believability. Still a good read, congrats on BOTD.
