Loading... Mary Modernby Camille DeAngelis
None.  taramatchi | Oct 5, 2010 |  I almost put this book down after the first few chapters because I wasn't enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Once Mary is "born" the book became much more interesting. I loved that the house had secret passages and all the old things that were left behind by the ancestors. I actually did not predict some of the twists that were revealed near the end of the book, though others who read this before me said it was predicable. I did not care for the political bits and all the discussion in the beginning about the science of cloning, but this was otherwise a pretty good book that I couldn't put down once it finally caught my interest. (  ) ladybug74 | May 16, 2010 | Lucy Morrigan, just like her deceased father, is a genetic researcher specializing in cloning. When Lucy and her boyfriend Gray have difficulty conceiving the baby Lucy so desperately wants, things take a bizarre turn. This is a good book with an intriguing storyline and would have been a great book with another 100 pages at least. (  ) CatieN | Dec 12, 2009 | This was a wonderful book about humanity and the role of memory. I liked the ethical dilemmas Lucy and Gray go through as well as the struggle Mary has in adjusting to a world 80 years in the future. ( ) krin5292 | Aug 17, 2008 | Such an interesting premise, but the protagonist was unlikable and nothing much really happened. (  ) bollix | Apr 12, 2008 | no reviews | add a review

I loved the way the author portrayed Mary and her acclimation to the modern world. There were twists to the plot that I found really interesting.
I really liked that it explored the humanity of the characters. Each character was flawed and a variety of relationships were explored. Lucy and Gray had to deal with their problems and the baby that was not meant to be. Mary had to come to terms with her granddaughter and her feelings of being cloned.
As Mary explores the new world, new relationships form and a new set of complications occur for all the characters.
In the end, I did enjoy the story and it left me with more to think about. (
