Great Review! Don't know if I'll read this- especially with the mature content. Amazing Job!
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

Yes, it's quite unique. It's not exactly what I thought it would be when I started reading it. Thanks for commenting.

I'm not usually interested in science fiction, but the characters and premise of this book have me intrigued. I appreciate any author who is able to create vivid scenes and dimensional characters, as that's something a lot of the books I've read struggle with. Thanks for the review!

This isn't exactly science fiction. It's more like some of Da Vinci's ideas actually are created within an older time period. That probably doesn't make sense, but it's definitely for more than a typical science fiction audience. Thanks!

You get used to the present tense after a while. It's unique and worth reading. Thanks.
