i did enjoy this. i agree with the other reviews that maybe the ethics mcewan was trying to display were delivered in a bit of a clunky way. but i really enjoyed the story. maybe the end wasnt my fav. i actually think i wanted MORE exploration of adam. loved the revisions of history, that was super fun. i think really what this book proved to me is that i really REALLY love sci-fi (is this sci-fi idk the exact right terms) about androids and stuff. like i really need to get into this genre. do androids dream of electric sheep? is like an all-timer for me and i think thats what drew me to this book. the blurb really drew me in but also maybe it was the mention of a love triangle because im really into those since seeing challengers <3
