booklistqueen 's review for:
Upgrade
by Blake Crouch
informative
slow-paced
In a future where the world has been ravaged by the unintended consequences of gene editing, Logan Ramsay works for the Genetic Protection Agency, tracking down unauthorized gene editors to atone for his family's role in the disaster. When an explosion infects Logan with a virus, he undergoes a genetic transformation and now must use his new abilities to stop it from happening to anyone else.
I've enjoyed Crouch's smart sci fi thrillers previously, but Upgrade might be too smart for its own good. I was bored to tears throughout the entire book, which failed to make DNA science interesting, and I actually don't mind reading fat science books about genetics. Even the action scenes were putting me to sleep. I'm honestly ashamed to say I even finished the book because it was that dull.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Ballantine Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
