Book Reviews of Immortality
Book Review: Slow start.... Amazing finish
Summary: 4 Stars
Immortality started out pretty slow, but it had so many accounts and characters that it had to so you could get familiar with everything. After getting through the first tedious half of the book it started to pick up. Then all of a sudden it just explodes with excitement. The ideas are astounding and very exciting to think about. I feel like it is a pretty advanced novel and requires a great deal of thinking, understanding and knowledge to fully understand and pick up on the plot. But once you understand and are immersed it is worth it. All in all, Great concepts and very good novel.Book Review: Engrossing and Clever
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book: Intelligent, entertaining, and interesting. For those who like end-of-the-world and/or nanotechnology science fiction, it was creative and refreshing -- something a bit different from the typical plot. There was a human element to the interface between man and machine that was unexpected and plausible. The characters were solid and the pace was good, without being too melodramatic or expecting you to even like the characters. There were a few minor typos/grammatical errors, but not enough to distract or irritate. Definitely on my list of recommended books.Book Review: Shock of recognition
Summary: 5 Stars
A profoundly realized vision of a world sliding into inevitable chaos. Bohacz shows us a population changing in the most extraordinary, terrifying ways. The vision of *Immortality* is that of a future where the boundary between computer and human, between the programmed and the self-generated, no longer exists. And--the real achievement here--this world is rendered in the calmest, most eerily placid and gentle prose, as if we could not but yield to its lures (which makes the story all the more frightening). Somewhere, Arthur C. Clarke is smiling.Book Review: Terrific

First time using the Kindle PC and could not have picked a better read. Up till 3:00 AM and enjoying every minute of it.
I'm a techno thriller reader and this book rates as one of the best. The sub plots take on a life of their own until they tactfully merge into the story line. An exceptional book, looking forward to the sequel which I've read is a work in progress.
Hopefully they will ship the Kindle DX to Canada sometime in the near future.
Book Review: More, please!
Summary: 5 Stars
Another Kindle book I've devoured. I am missing the characters already - and wondering what happens to the "new tribes" after the dust has settled. This book blends fantastic scientific ideas and terminology with our modern day global dilemmas... and leaves us with a 'what-if' that gives chills. What a ride this book was. I hope for a sequel, to bring us up to speed with Mark, Carl, Sarah, and Kathy. And Ralph, the Rottweiler, too! Thank you for a fantastic trip!
