About this ebook
Adam's intimate memoir draws us into a world in which it becomes common to have your genetic twin born after your death. We see this world through the first clone's unique perspective - the bigotry he faces as a youth, haunting dreams of the man from whom he was cloned, and Adam's inner search for his soul. It's a search that's shadowed by his fear of death, and by an multigenerational family drama in which, like the House of Atreus, the players seem fated to struggle with the sins of the father. 2010 Literary Award Finalist - Santa Fe Writers Project.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I so enjoyed this book from start to finish. The Book of Adam by Rob Hopper is a fascinating read following the life of the first human clone. It is a futuristic story of life to come when we can control our own health and the possibility of living on forever as a clone. It raises lots of ethical, religious, and moral questions making it a worthy discussion book for all those book clubs out there. The characters are endearing from charming Aunt Louise with her glass flowers, to all the troubled Lilies (you have to read the book to understand), and to the sinister grandfather, Lyle. Well, he is not so endearing. In fact, he is very scary but unforgettable. The mystery holds your attention right up until the end. I personally adored the touching love story between Adam and his childhood sweetheart, Evelyn. This book has everything including laughter, science, mystery, love, and murder. I am re-reading it right away as I cannot wait for Book II to be written. My only suggestion would be to have a family tree listed so I can keep all those clones straight! By the way, when is the MOVIE coming out?
