This is a story about all the lonely, lovely, intellectually gifted c hildren who are so smart and unusual they are loners in the publ;ic school system and are sent to the "Academy ( )This was the first book I ever read by Saul over 5 years ago or so. It was suggested to me by my Father who also is an avid reader like myself. I was very impressed with Sual's writing style and have been ever since. I thought the book was wonderful, the characters were played out in detail and Saul kept me engaged in my reading. The ending was very good and it really moved me. Sort of took you to another place in the belief that the brain can be replaced by computers. Really good writing, enjoyable reading. Shadows is a good book to read at night, and the plot was interesting. The concept of true artificial intelligence is always scary, especially when that intelligence wakes up and realises the total power and control it can wield. I quite liked the ending of this book as well. Having said all that, however, I come to the book's main handicap - it's forgettable. It is just one day since I finished reading Shadows and I've already forgotten my feelings and impressions while reading it. In my opinion, an enjoyable read, but not worth a second look. no reviews | add a review
