Eli is taking a year off before college to figure out what he wants with his life. He gets a job at Wyatt Transgenic after he emails Dr. Wyatt, a man who seems to have a connection to his increasingly ill mother. Eli enjoys his job, even as it causes a rift between him and his father, and later, his girlfriend. Eli finds himself increasingly drawn to Dr. Wyatt, but when he finds out the truth about Dr. Wyatt’s research, he realizes that everything he’s known his whole life has been a lie.
This was a great books for high school students. Eli is dark and brooding but likeable, and his multidimensional characterization really drives the story. His relationship with his father was interesting and I loved trying to figure out the mystery. It was hard to put down. |
