Exquisitely bland. The story kept enticing me to read on, which is a marvelous skill for any writer to have, but in the end this novel was an empty-calorie kind of read. "All You Zombies" by Robert Heinlein did this story first, and better.

Amy Excellent analysis. I was kept engaged while reading, but can't remember a thing about it.

Laura Rogers I keep putting this one on and then taking it off based on GR'S friends reviews. I think I will have to read the preview and decide for myself. Silly I know.

Greg 100% I realized two months after reading this that I had no recollection of any of it. Total empty calories.

Reader YUPP, all this book did was make me want to read that instead
