Yes, that one-two punch of his infatuation with his mother followed by the situation with Terry, really turned me off him as a character. I didn't enjoy the book as much because I disliked him so much and later explanations weren't enough to redeem him in my estimation.Odette Chace wrote: ↑15 Mar 2020, 15:06 I didn't think Adam's infatuation with his mother was necessary. The scene with Terry was more than enough for shock value. I also thought he was mentally unstable at first because of his obsession with telekinesis.

I feel like those desires were messed up but it did get the point across that Adam was a messed up character. I too was satisfied with the explanation in the end.memalescole75 wrote: ↑23 Mar 2020, 11:48 I agree with several of the responses above. Adam's Oedipal desires were more about revealing his character than furthering the plot. The author adequately explained it in the end.

Those are good points. Honestly, though, it served to make me feel disgust for Adam. If I'm going to give the character of a book real estate in my brain, I don't want to feel disgusted by them.Frances019 wrote: ↑27 Mar 2020, 12:46I feel like those desires were messed up but it did get the point across that Adam was a messed up character.

Also, his hatred for Vikki had nothing to do with the plot.

Can't blame you there. I enjoy reading about train wrecks for some reason, and I think that's why I was able to stick with it. Would have been a better experience if it had been with someone clearly not blood related though.Laura Lee wrote: ↑29 Mar 2020, 21:20Those are good points.

I agree. However, It wouldn't make sense because the serum drew Adam close to his mother and kept her young. At first he comes off as a total pervert and killing Terry? That was on another level, I didn't see how it fits with the story.Odette Chace wrote: ↑15 Mar 2020, 15:06 I didn't think Adam's infatuation with his mother was necessary.

If it was handled better maybe the incest plot could've been redeemed. Like if Adam already knew he was adopted and was adopted while he was 16. Then perhaps his milf fantasy would've been more acceptable? Still not YA but would've made for a more interesting love triangle.
