This is just my kind of book. Scientist can be so cruel while mutating animals together and I wonder how painful it will be for humans. This book is suitable for mostly teenagers.

I'm lured into Adam's world, and the plot appears to be compelling. Lately, my favorite genre has been science fiction. Great review

This book sounds exciting. Boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy romance girl etc. Others said sex talk involved. Nice to know.
Thanks for the review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting young adult fantasy following a mutated young man named Adam who is trying to deal with his new abilities. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I’m looking forward to digging into this book to find out what biokenretic is and how troubled Adam’s life changes once he meets Carly. I like paranormal novels and this one fits the bill.

This is an interesting read, especially for sci-fi lovers. They will enjoy learning more about Adam's abilities while journeying with him and Carly on their rollercoaster adventures, and in their budding romance. A very interesting review of the novel this is.

From your review alone, this sounds like a confusing sci-fi fantasy book for me, and I would not like to read it anytime soon. Would recommend to a friend who likes sci-fi though. Thank you so much for the detailed review!

Am not sure. Fantasy book are not that interesting for me but your review is making me think twice before letting this one go. Sounds like an appealing story but I felt that the story line is somewhat common
Recite in the name of your Lord who created [*] Created man from a clinging substance [*] Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous [*] Who taught by the pen [*] Taught man that which he knew not.

The book delves into the life of a 16-year-old boy who just discovered his paranormal ability. His relationship with Carly is quite unique and romantic, and it goes a long way to help him from his powers. The book has an intriguing plot, and I would love to read the book. Thanks for your review.

I could think of a movie X-men that seems to resemble the characters in the story. Reading the sample of the first page captivates my attention, and I could visualize the experiences of Adam. The author has indeed done a great job, and I would enjoy continuing to read this book. Thank you for a wonderful review.

Such an adventurous story that I should read. Then it reminds me of Japanese fantasy/sci-fi light novels. I want to read the book next time. Thanks for your review!
