This book could have been SO MUCH better without the bashing of a political party or mention of politics AT ALL. After all, it is a novel, and science fiction besides. It involves the cloning of more than one member in the same family. The idea that because the DNA to clone a member was taken from adult cells, the member is then "born" as a fully grown adult is completely and totally ludicrous. It was an interesting premise, but it was also a thinly veiled diatribe against the Bush administration. None of which had anything to do with the story as a whole. It was very difficult to stick with the book to the end. But I am glad I finished it, for the surprise ending. D.
