You can take as much of a drug as you want, but eventually the drugs will take you.
For Daniel Rimms the score is about even. After a fit of cocaine-induced paranoia Daniel decides to get clean, only to slowly descend into a rabbit-hole of misery where he believes the government spies on American citizens through cameras in their televisions and cybernetic surveillance-pigeons.
Even as he is stalked by cloned government agents, Daniel is recruited by a small group of revolutionaries, intent on dragging the truth of these transgressions into the light.
As he slips deeper into the cause, Daniel’s girlfriend becomes increasingly concerned with his erratic behavior, the gaps in his memory, and the sporadic hallucinations from which he suffers.
Afraid of losing the only person he’s ever loved, Daniel struggles to determine if he's in the middle of a vast government conspiracy...or if it's all happening within his slowly crumbling mind.

Cookie Cutter Man had me hooked from the first page and the ending blew my mind. I loved everything about it. Those who enjoy Black Mirror episodes, I'd recommend this book to. I hope this author continues to write because I can always rely on his work to pull me out of a reading slump.
I really enjoyed this book. What's real? What isn't? You're guessing right up to the end. And I'll never look at pigeons the same way again - I always suspected those things were up to no good!
