This book read like a cheesy bad movie. There were a few funny throw-away lines and it was a very quick and easy read, so I can't say that I didn't like it. But I wouldn't recommend it as a good book. Unless you're into bad movies. Then you might like it quite a bit. ( )

I read this because Tom Mankowski from the "Jack Daniels" series is the lead. A far fetched story on cloning & government conspiracies. Has the typical Konrath humor. It was a little outlandish but interesting ( )

He lost me as soon as I realized this book was about clones. Really? Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, Joan of Arc, Abe Lincoln, Atilla the Hun, Jack the Ripper? Somehow, I powered through anyway, but it just seemed ridiculous. I will say, however, the execution of said ridiculous plot wasn't bad. It was a nice light read with a decent writing style to match. Maybe I'm just not into the 'technothriller' genre enough. One way or another, I'm really looking forward to having a better book than this for middle of the night feedings. ( )

Epigraph
The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few, booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.
-Thomas Jefferson
