I have to admit that this books wasn't what I was expecting and I really did enjoy it. 

I was in kind of two minds when it came to rating this book. At some points I really wanted to give it 5 stars but there was just something stopping me. I'm not sure quite what.

Plot wise this book is very solid. It really was a unique piece of work with characters that didn't irritate me. The only thing that did irritate me was the characters names, for example Terra, Solo and Evening. Terrible names.

Now I was also warned that it was not a good book but I decided to read it anyway. I finished it with no problem. It wasn't bad enough for me to stop reading and give up. But it also wasn't worth me finishing. I'm sure it is a book for some people. I'm just a little disappointed that I spent money on purchasing this book. It had "potential" (maybe) but it didn't execute strong enough. It was a predictable and corny and not exciting. The ending was anticlimactic. It seemed rushed and ended too easy. I feel like it the book was longer it would have been able to be a bit more interesting. I'll definitely be adding this to my unhaul.

Gattaca meets Dark Angel from international best-selling authors Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant, author of GONE, BZRK and Front Lines. A mystery-thriller that bursts out of the world of genetic science and into the lives of teens. The perfect read for teens who loved Scott Westerfeld's Uglies. Love has never had much of a place in the life of Evening Spiker. But being the daughter of a billionaire genetic scientist has other perks. Like a private hospital where you can recover from near-fatal road accidents. And a hot surfer boy to push your wheelchair. While Eve is healing, her mother sets her an unexpected challenge: to use a cutting-edge virtual reality system to design the perfect boy; everything from the colour of his eyes to the level of his IQ. It's the chance of a lifetime. The chance to play God . . . or is it more than just playing? An exceptional page-turner from the creator of the GONE series. Escapism doesn't get more thrilling than this book for teens. Fans of Ally Condie's 'Matched' series will love this.
