Search - Gray Matter

This book is half thriller, half social commentary on the "superficial" desire for measurable intelligence in your children: high IQ, great test scores, Valedictorian status, etc. "But what are we willing to sacrifice?" the book asks. I wish there had been some measurable intelligence in this book, because while the question is interesting the book goes nowhere with it. Just a nice, evenly-paced, formula thriller. Don't expect any "content" just because the book is ABOUT intellect. Ha ha.

This book was very interesting. A 6 year old child has learning disabilities because of his mother's mistake. A new untested program could enhance his IQ into the genius range, but is it safe or even ethical.
My only problem was that the ending was too quick. It was only in the last 10 pages that things came together, but there still were a lot of loose ends. It would have been better to have another chapter at the end.

I really enjoyed this book. It is one of those books that is intense and very hard to put down once you get into it.
