snugglekittyI saw this book on PBS and decided I wanted to give it a try. The premise is that someone is stealing celebrity DNA for nefarious purposes (in this case, cloning, which you find out in the first five pages). This book could have been a shocking expose of the lengths we'll go through to get close to the stars. Or a thoughtful commentary on what our society defines as beautiful. Or a fast-paced thriller. I'm sorry to say it was none of those things.
It had plot holes you could drive a truck through. The cover was the most interesting part. I wish I had just read the reviews, which made it seem more interesting than it was. But then I would have always wondered if I would have loved it if I had picked it up. Nothing for it, I suppose.
Two stars. If you're wondering what a one-star book looks like, that's the book I don't even finish.
