Regan offered up an excellent plot summary in the post just before this one, so I won't rehash the plot here. However, I disagreed with her opinion of the novel, which was definitely dark, and didn't have many likeable characters (perhaps two? and that's a stretch). But I don't have problems reading books with unlikeable characters, and the complexity of PTSD and abuse and grooming and gender made this a thoroughly thought-provoking book. It made for a great Orcs & Aliens discussion too. I'd recommend it more for fans of domestic psychological thrillers than science fiction fans, though there definitely is crossover with the focus on cloning.
