I think I talked myself into upgrading the rating from 4 to 5 stars! 🤩🤣
How is this even possible when I wanted to return this book?! Honestly, I couldn't get into it in the beginning. Unlike his other books that pulled me in from the first page, this one didn't. But because they were library loans, I didn't want to go through the hassle again.
The moment that piqued my interest was when the protag's mother, a renowned geneticist who tried to end world hunger accidentally kill 200 million people! Logan Ramsay who's helping her got prison time. Gene editing is too risky and illegal. (But wouldn't it be nice if all mosquitos were male?😅)
If you read the blurb, Logan doesn't feel like his old self. He feels much better in every way. But he's not the only one. Another person who doesn't see eye to eye with Logan-the Gene Police feels just as sharp and even more capable physically. Logan must stop them and avert world disaster.
Although the future doesn't look beautiful (flooded ghost town NYC), I still love the world Crouch creates. The tech, transportation, and other little things made it very believable. The story is set in a not too distant future. My guess is 2068 (based on publishing date, or a few years earlier depending on when it was written. (view spoiler)
Needless to say, I can't wait for this story to be on the big screen and Hollywood loves this kind of ending. Upgrade will make one helluva movie! I pray the deal with Spielberg comes to fruition. 🤞

Yes, it was. Thank you Jayme!💕
How cool that the title of the book is how you felt about eating it in the end. I’m intrigued. Perhaps I’ll give it a try one day. Great review Kay!
Great review, Kay, and fun to read because it's a book I look forward to - but first I still need to tackle Recursion. I heard Crouch studied genetics before diving into this one.
Fabulous review Kay. I am looking forward to reading this 💖
Terrific review, Kay! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm soooo late to the party with this one, but I will get to it one day 🤔
Wonderful review Kay! So happy that you decided to stick with it despite the beginning! Great decision :D

Recursion is awesome too, I hope you enjoy it Ron! 😍
Awesome review! I cannot wait to get my hands on this one!
