Review of So Into Her
Technology can be useful but at the same time dangerous, hence the reason why it should never fall into the wrong hands. D. L. Yoder, in his book, So Into Her, opens the eyes of the reader to the extent to which a man can go to obtain technology as a result of the power it can give. The book is steeped in the themes of lies, betrayal, and love.
Marty's world changes overnight after he alters a project named the HATT after his promotion to become the team leader of the project. The High Amplitude Transdermal Transmitter (HATT) is a mechanism that uses the brain waves of its user to operate other devices. His decision does not only change his life but that of others, including Yakiesha, the lover of the person who occupied the position he currently holds. All Yakiesha wanted to do was warn Marty of an impending danger to his life, but she ended up being stuck to him, giving her no room to make a choice. Read this book to discover what happens when greed overshadows a man's conception of humanity.
This 387-page book comprises 35 chapters, each with a topic of its own. The structure of the book is highly organized. D. L. Yoder writes in a tone that is daring and engaging. The reader is made to feel the emotions of the characters at every turn of the page. The author develops an intriguing plot by ingraining lifelong lessons into it. I also admire the author's simplistic writing style. He was able to simplify the complex terms related to science in such a way that every reader would get the picture being painted. The characters are well-developed, and each character is relevant to the story's progress.
I liked several parts of the book, one of which is the author's use of italics to distinguish the mind conversations of Marty and Yakiesha. This helped me efficiently determine when they had conversations publicly and when they used their minds to communicate. My favorite character is Ellen, Dr. Ernest's wife. Although she is not a major character, she plays a significant role in the development of the plot. With her help, Yakiesha can come to terms with the dilemma between her and Marty and is willing to work it out. I particularly loved the part where Marty had to sing a rhyme to hide a secret from Yakiesha. It was amusing to picture how Yakiesha felt whenever he started singing the rhyme.
Although I enjoyed reading every bit of the book, I wouldn't say I liked the way more information was not given about Marty's team members after their involvement in altering the HATT. Also, the book needed to be adequately edited, as I encountered several grammatical errors, hence my reason for rating it 4 out of 5 stars.
In conclusion, I recommend this book to lovers of technology. The reader's eyes will be open to the significance of communication in a relationship.
