Perfect People Peter James 9780230760523 Books

I enjoyed this book. It's not a literary masterpiece, but it terms of a solid scifi mystery, it hit the mark. Certain aspects were predictable, but what I loved was the character development, and the way the story twisted and turned. It was definitely worth a read if you're a mystery fan. While it crosses a little bit into sci-fi, it is mostly grounded in our world, which I actually enjoyed. Only pitfall, there were certain side plots that seemed a little unnecessary. I honestly skimmed those specific chapters with the "extra" characters.

I prefered James's earlier novels, e.g. The Alchemist (that I still consider his best). I have become bored with the inspector series and looked forward to this one, being away from our boring inspector. This one, although interesting, just never hit the mark in terms of suspense, character development, depth of colour and dynamic. I do hope James will go back to his earlier writing as the inspector took him away from what he really has been good at.
The premise of this book is a really great story. It is filled with suspense and intrigue, keeps you from putting it down. And the ending, wow is all I can say!
If you are into this stuff this book is excellent.. The characters seem real and the story isn't overly complex, all about a couple wanting to have child free of certain genetic problems and getting some help - and it goes on from there with the differing sides for and against etc. It was definitely one of those books that keep you wanting to get to the end and I ended up sitting up half the night to finish it. It has a good ending and overall you find all your emotions at work. Well worth it.
This book got me on the very first page and didn't stop till the end, which brought tears to my eyes and a bit of sadness to my heart.
This is the type of book I would enjoy reading every day! It had intrigue, interest, emotional and ethical issues throughout the entire story. It made me question life as we know it and life as we imagine it might be but most of all it made me question the out come of altering people's genetic make-up for what appears to be good with out considering what may come up as years go by and find what was supposed to be good and positive actually being a step that ONLY Mother Nature should take.
This is my second book by this author and I am entirely hooked. I bought Possession in a second hand store and loved it so much that I searched for the author in my kindle and wow I'm glad I did. Like possession this book is unique, thought provoking, thrilling and quite simply, excellent. The premise is fascinating and the characters were so well written that I felt entirely connected to them. I highly recommend this author and the two books mentioned here. I'm off to buy more.
The book starts out well. A couple wish to have a "designer baby" because they want a gene they both carry that causes a deadly medical condition (of which their first son died) removed from their future baby boy. Then they find out the scientist just used them to his own gain by impregnating her with twins that are far beyond what they asked for and that a religious cult is hunting down all the families with these twin designer babies. I did not much enjoy how the book jumped around sometimes years between chapters without any notice, you just kind of had to figure it out as your were reading how much time had passed. Also I did not like how the mother was always the victim and was always thought be so vulnerable by her husband. A lot of the book was him beating himself up by blaming himself for taking them to the clinic and the wife/mother being very dramatic about the twins and then when they disappear she goes slightly crazy. Then once they do find them it just kind of ends strangely and raises more questions than answers. It started out good I thought, but just kind of fell apart for me.
Right out of the gate, there was a plot hole . When the father of the designer children spilled the beans to a reporter, why couldn't he have done "damage control"? For instance, he could have told the truth. Him and his wife just wanted to eradicate a deadly disease from their children, and that does not make them designer children? Something that simple. But this plot hole blew my suspension of disbelief. Yes this is sci fi thriller genre, but there has to be some reality to keep up the suspension of disbelief . Also, I found that people who were in fear of their lives were very naive about taking safety measures. I mean, other parents and children were being killed, but they just bought a simple security system that can be disabled very easily? So, huh?

I gave this three stars because the idea, theme, plot, were very good, but the plot holes, of which I gave only a couple of examples, were pretty bad. Also, the ending left really, no answers as to what had happened. This I found very discouraging. This plot could have really developed into something special. Too bad the author didn't take it there. I would not recommend it too a friend.
