This book is about an eighteen year old man named Eli and his quest to find the story of his creation. This book is very detailed with different scientific terms. Some terms in the story were necessary for me to find the definition. That is one of the downsides of this book. This book taught me how easy it is to change and make a human being. This also made me view genetic mutations differently. If someone is in risk of being infected with a dangerous disease, tinkering with genes might be the best way to fix the problem. It made me think, how easy is it to make a human being completely different? This made me more interested to pursue my goal of being in the medical field. This is a very good book and I strongly recommend it to everybody!

  1. I think that it is easy to change a human into something else entirly as lolg as the technonlgy is available to make those changes. I was thinking about this book to read but I decided not to I hope that wasn't a mistake. I noticed that you recomended it to everybod so I'm asuming that it was, next time maybe ill read it.

  3. This book seems like it relates to many different things. Medical field, and a humans life. I think things effect humans that not all of us realize. Also, this is definatly a book for someone interested in the medical field. Nice job!

  8. To answer both of your questions, yes. I do think this will happen in the near future and that is what interests me. I would like to say i was a part of one of the most important scientific experiments ever. The ability to change a human. Thanks for your questions!
