My response after reading the foreword and chapter 1, well it's very sciencey , which makes it very interesting to read. I find it sad how they're playing with human nature, especially in the births of babies, and they're "conditioning." But I can't wait to keep reading. This novel is full of information and I'm ready to analyze the buzz out of it. I most definitely recommend this novel to EVERYONE!
