Genesis, then. The first couple of hundred pages were very enjoyable and I became more intrigued and disturbed as the story unfolded. That's not to say it didn't maintain it's hold on me until the very end. It did. If I did have a gripe, it would skittle around the introduction of a couple of lesser characters towards the final few chapters of the book that were maybe a tad too under developed. Although, when something is this much fun, managing to surprise and entertain in equal measure, it's hardly worth mentioning. I liked this book. In fact, I would say it's an excellent book! Highly recommended.

More a 3.5 out of 5, but a nice little horror/sci-fi novel. The last couple of chapters felt a bit rushed, but overall not bad.
