You know, I really like the storyline of this book--the "Garden of Eden" scenario on another planet--but...wow! This book is heavy on the philosophy and a little difficult to follow if you're used to reading things like, say, Twilight. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading both kinds of books, but this one had some things going way over my head. I guess that tells you a lot about my brain--especially those of you that understand philosophy. I'm just a simple girl at heart. Despite those difficulties, I found the story really intriguing and interesting. My only other caveat would be his view on the Fall of Adam and Eve. As a Mormon, I don't have the same views on the Fall so I was shaking my head each time it came up in the story.
