Book Review of Year Zero

Year Zero
reviewed on + 29 more book reviews


Like The Descent, this is a clever and provocative book. Also like Descent, it leaves a skein of loose ends. Not in the sense that a continuation seems in the offing - rather the fate of characters and the explanation for major plot issues are not given. That may be on purpose, but I personally like things tidied up. Also, I am ready to accept unlikely science fiction plot elements, but in a book set in the present the author should get his science straight. Cloning an individual (unlikely as it is from the type of samples used) does not recreate their memories.
