Tamanna Jethi tamannajethi — One of those murder mysteries you read between great fiction.

Zachery Mcclean zacherymccleandee9 — Oliviya's living in a world debilitated by cancer. Where homes have been transformed to care for the sick and dying. No one goes out anymore as everything is done over handheld computers, including Digital School, which is where Oliviya meets Mikah. He's the only one who accepts her 'Sight', the ability to see people's auras, with non-chalance. But when they decide to meet, they become involved in a much bigger event then either of them could ever imagine. Oliviya is a fiery character, full of attitude and fierce determination, making her a joy to read about. Mikah is more quiet and reserved, though still a steely character. Putting them together makes for a great reading experience and the feelings that develop between them are nothing short of dazzling. Seeing Oliviya's power of seeing people's auras was especially interesting because they were described so vividly. Different colours, from dreamy blue to malignant red, all representing some emotion the person was experiencing. Mikah also had the power of telempathy, being able to sense and manipulate emotions, but I didn't get to experience that as strongly as Oliviya's. I liked the friendship that bloomed between them but the romance moved a little too quickly for me to realistically believe. The plot of The Apocalypse Gene is so incredibly unique. There were references to monster myths that have arisen over many years and from different times. We had ancient Greece, Egypt, and even the Bible. There wasn't a lot of focus on the monsters of the legends, but their importance was clearly understood. But they weren't the only supernatural creatures, there's a couple more, also very unique ones, that play a huge part in the big showdown. As I was reading I kept thinking, 'wow, this is insane!' There was a lot of action, basically one thing after another, but I couldn't help hoping for a scene where the characters would have sat down for a rest, take a breather and get to know each other some more. I really liked the doom feeling I got as parts of the bigger picture was revealed. I didn't know whether the story would end happily or in disaster. I wished I had known more about the cancerous outbreak, and how it had become so out of control though. When had the world given up and given clinics the permission to euthanize willing patients? I also enjoyed the union between such intricate technologies, from handheld computer screens to 3-D projections, and such old and ancient powers. It was just so cool! Bottom Line In one word The Apocalypse Gene is unique. Superbly original and full of non-stop action and an incredibly detailed story and characters. Up until the last page I was hooked, so much was happening, happy, sad, hopeful, I felt it all. Great book, glad I had the opportunity to read it!

Ayon Samaniego ayonheadefa0 — I loved the book as much as the movie. What a great premise: child abuse / alien abduction. Excellent parallel contrasting characters in the two protagonists. Interesting and real supporting characters. Successful in creating individual voices for the various narrators. Great achievement in creating a character who is so complex; beautiful and dangerous with a need for punishment, redemption, salvation and liberation. Must read and see.

Anubhav Singh anubhavwor85d6 — The movie was better than the book. I typically don't ever say this and I love Alice Hoffman as a writer. Its a fun read, but if you really want to read something good then read any of the other books of Alice Hoffman like Blue diary, Turtle Moon, or River King.
