There was a large leap in time in the final chapters, interwoven with the main storyline. The story all along jumped time here and there, but not quite as drastic as the ending, which felt out of place. It seemed like a ploy to get you to the next book in the series. Other than that I did enjoy reading the book. A few interesting ideas, some not fully fleshed out, perhaps in the next book? Hmm, I will likely read the next book, but after reading a few reviews, and what was encountered in the end of this one it does give me pause.
This book was intriguing, not really science fiction at all, just little bits here and there. Overall it provides an interesting idea about one possible direction of human evolution.
