SurroundedByBooks wrote: ↑07 Apr 2020, 23:13 I have to admit I didn’t enjoy the amount of POV switching that occurs. I’m not against a mid-scene switch when it’s done well. However, when it happens a lot, it takes me out of the book’s world.

This was pretty much the one complaint I had with the book as well. The frequent POV changes just caught me off guard and occasionally made me have to think about what each character actually knew.

Otherwise, I greatly enjoyed Project Tau and rate it 4 out of 4! It's definitely my type of book since I love scifi and like to consider what the impacts of new technologies may be down the line. I appreciate that it was both fast-paced and thought worthy. Often it seems like books that make you think move much slower whereas action-packed books are unsubstantive.

What is your overall opinion of the book? What do you like most about it? What do you like least? Will you recommend the book to other people? Why or why not?
Overall opinion of the book? Super enjoyable, engaging, and intriguing. I loved it, and I pretty much read it through without interruption (save for bathroom breaks). What I liked most was the personalities of and the friendship between the two Projects, Kata and Tau. As for what I liked least... probably just the ending, although I do understand that it was meant to be a cliffhanger. I'm just looking forward to the continuation of the storyline and the answering of unresolved questions. Imagine my relief when I found out that a second book has already been published!

Without a doubt, I would recommend this book to others, even to those who don't typically go for the sci-fi genre. What stood out to me most was the intriguing cast, and I think the majority of readers would enjoy reading about Kata and Tay, how they change throughout the story and how their friendship develops.

I share your views entirely. I loved watching the friendship develop between Kata and Tau (I caught myself smiling a few times at Kata's influence on Tau and vice versa). I also wasn't too hot on the ending. But as cliffhangers go, it definitely left me wanting to know what happens next.

While I don't consider myself a sci-fi fan, I have read and enjoyed a few books in that genre. I can now add Project Tau to that list. Definitely worth recommending to others.

I really enjoyed Project Tau! I gave it a 4 star rating and I really think it deserved it. I absolutely loved how much the characters grew throughout the story. They changed and shifted so brilliantly. I didn't have the same issue as other people reading the book, as to the POV changing a lot. I didn't mind that. I really enjoyed watching Tau change and shift into a real person.

I absolutely loved this book and want to read the next book in the series! The thing I liked most was that Project Tau became more and more "human" as the story went on. He learned sarcasm and wit from Kalin. He's not just a robot! I give it a 4 out of 4 stars.

I enjoyed this book because it was fast-paced and narrative-driven. We all know that cloning is real and it's only a matter of time before the process is misused or abused. It was interesting to watch the relationship between the two Projects develop, with each absorbing an aspect or two from the other.

I would have liked to know more about the backdrop. Where is this place? Do humans populate other planets? What is the timeline of this story?

I've already gotten my copy of the next book and look forward to reading more about the Projects.

Science fiction are my favorites because it shows that at some point, man's knowledge is limited and the results from all these experiments are unpredictable. I can't wait to finish reading the book.

As an initiation test, he has to take a picture of a top-secret project, Project Tau. Little does he know that this silly fraternity prank will end up changing his life forever.

Overall, the writing style of the story is very vivid and detailed that the readers can imagine the scenario the book is showing. Though, the topic of the story definitely needs a deep understanding in order to keep going. The character advancement makes the story fascinating and readers are blessed to receive spine chiller angles also. I am intrigued with thoughts of cloning, hereditary designing, and futurism, so I was kept submerged in the story all through its movement. The story has the readers considering the fate of humankind, what makes us human, and how far is excessively far with regards to progressions. The startling prospects of where human developments can go if power is left unchecked include a lot of colors to the story.

Definitely had my support and love to this story!

I have to agree it was spine chilling! Especially the scene that describes the implanting of claws on Kalin. That one got me.

Yes! I’d love to know more about the interplanetary worlds! And species as well, and how they interact. As well as the social norms for each species.

Project Taus character progression was my favorite part of the book as he was my favorite character by far.

I was extremely hesitant to start reading the book but my curiosity took the better of me and I dived right in. There wasn’t a moment of reading this story that I regretted doing so just because you stay engrossed and don’t want to stop. As scary as the plot can sometimes seem to be, it is extremely intriguing and catches you off guard in several points of the story. I would highly recommend the book to anyone who loves reading as opposed to only those drawn to this genre.
