The Wages of Creative Xerography

What could a twenty-five year-old who's been living a sequestered life off the southern US Atlantic coast possibly have in common with a thirty year old newspaper reporter living in the heart of New York...

Pros: Action, Suspense, Romance, Science Fiction, Ingenuity...is there anything this book doesn't have?

"Skyler tried to get away, but the men behind him were pushing and struggling and he couldn't find an opening. He turned again, but now the police had formed a cordon around the mob and moved in quickly, pushing with their shields and waving nightsticks. ...

Pros: Wonderful characters, suspenseful plot
Cons: It had to end

How much of your life is fact and how much is fiction? Do you really want to know? Jude Harley thinks he has a pretty good grip on his life. He knows who he is. He knows where he came from. He knows where his life is headed. He is an accomplished...

Pros: Well-paced, several subtexts, beautifl descriptiveness
Cons: Shallow characters, predictable plot, anticlimactic ending

It's hard to talk about this book at all without giving away some parts of the plot here or there. Part of this is due to the extremely complicated subject matter, and part is due to the excellent pacing and plot development.

I didn't pick...

Pros: Well Developed Characters and Plot, Fast Paced Suspenseful Action

Pros: Comprehensive; gives the complete story at the end
Cons: Slow beginning; complex ideas

Pros: Captures your attention and manages to hold it.
Cons: Can get bogged down in sub-plots, the end is pretty predictable

Cons: not going to boost your IQ, type of book you'll forgot you even read a year from now

Pros: Exciting, good characters, very interesting
Cons: A lot about science

This was one of the first books I have ever read written by John Darnton and I was very impressed. "The Experiment" deals with a controversial issue today, that of cloning and life extension. In this book a journalist, Jude, stumbles across...

Pros: Well researched, keeps your interest, caused one to reflect
Cons: none

The Experiment is an exciting, thought provoking read. John Darnton clearly has done his research. The terminology and facts in this science fiction novel are very close to the scientific research articles I just read online Encarta.
