Solid 3.5 stars.
I’m so torn about this one. I love clone/living-organ-donor as a sci-fi genre, and I can even see how the everyman viewpoint would make the philosophy more appealing, since you’re not being talked down to. And it’s impressive just how many moral quandaries were explored.
That being said, I was left only with a shallow sense of the themes? As well as a shallow attachment to the characters, but that might be because I don’t relate to the “everyman” protagonist.
Overall, I think the pacing and tension was somewhat off, and resolutions between characters left a lot to be desired.
