What I read recently:

 


This any good? I don't know much about it but one of my work colleagues is really enjoying it.

Yep, it's very good. One of those sci fi novels that doesn't bore you with pointless tech stuff, and deals with actual serious issues (in other words it's an actually good book). It's about clones used to harvest vital organs from and is told from the POV of one of them (first person narration). I greatly enjoyed it, though I couldn't help but start crying at the end. Definately can be desribed as a "tearjerker", and is also a little depressing, but still wonderful. You should read ASAP!!!

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for the Kindle/ebook version as I type this.

Ah, great! Post your impression of it when you're done with it.

Finished it yesterday (just in time to start Dance with Dragons!). I enjoyed it greatly although I struggled a little bit with the beginning mainly because I found it difficult to relate to a little girl, especially with the story being told in first-person. Still very intriguing and a very good book, if a little depressing, especially by the end. It had some powerful and moving moments and was nice to read a sci-fi book that concentrated on the human side rather than the science and tech.

Thanks for recommending it; well worth reading!
