Finished the book tonight, haven't read any comments yet. I didn't like it; how many times did the author say, Later I realized, or some variation thereof?
Instead of endless talk about childhood conflicts, I would have liked to know how the program worked--how the people to be cloned were chosen, just what was taken from the clones that let them generally survive till the fourth time, what prevented the clones from just leaving once school was over and they had some freedom.
I wanted to like it, I really did. And I was intrigued until it became clear the children were clones; after that, I was bored.
