Disappointing
I love the concept behind Wassermans story, teenager injured so badly that her mind is placed in an artificial body making her what, machine or man? Somehow, even with a great Sci-fi/dystopoian theme the book was very slow, downright boring.
Lia was/is a self absorbed teen, as the reader you go along with her mental process of awakening to a totally different life. The struggles she faces with adjusting, her friend and family adjusting and discovering others like herself. The thing that made it drag is that everything is internal. There isnt much dialog and I felt like I kept getting bashed over the head with the same mental themes.
This was not an establish the dystopian society and tell an action filled story weaved into the society (Like The Hunger Games Trilogy or The Uglies Trilogy). This was a, you are locked in her mind and her struggles and they dont seem to be developing at all.
I am hoping the next book in this trilogy has more action and not so much stuck in Lias mind but from the description I dont have much hope.
