This book definitely needs a book club. And maybe a shot of tequila.
Wow. I listened to this one, and any time Eduardo Ballerini is involved in the performance, I am in. His role is of Todd Kent, telling his life story including his best friend Raffi, two boys from two different worlds, but who meet in academia, who both love a challenge - and gaming. Todd becomes an uber rich coder; Raffi turns to literature. What happens between the two of them and their friendship might seem inevitable, except...
Add Evelyn. We hear about her life story too. A woman in a man's field of deep sea diving and research, Evie is brilliant and curious and forthright and amazing.
And, add Ina, a girl from a small Polynesian island that during the story becomes World Center for a corporation with a plan to enhance and better colonize this paradise. But do the islanders want that? What will their island become? What will become of the sea life if people begin to live in the ocean?
And what does ANY of that have to do with Todd and Raffi??
Yeah, Wow.
I spent a lot of this novel confused but riveted. Where was all this going? Whose story did I like best? How in the world would Powers bring it all together? Well, he does in a spectacular ending that leads me back to my first sentence of this review.
VERY discussable!!!!!!
Whoever recommended this book to me, call me immediately!!!
