A Calculated Life by Anne Charnock

3.0

This book was quite good, but it isn't the best thing I have ever read. It really reminds me of something that [a:Philip K. Dick|4764|Philip K. Dick|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1264613853p2/4764.jpg](PKD) would write. The plot was very confusing in some spots, just like something PKD would write. Also, I never really connected emotionally to Jayna, the main character. I understand that she had some implant or something that inhibited her emotions, but the whole story just felt very distant. Generally by the end of a story, you are attached to the main character and want them to be happy and to succeed, and I just wasn't sure how I felt about Jayna by the end of the book. This is also very reminiscent of PKD's writing style. Just as with his books, I am just not completely sure if I liked or disliked this book. But it was an interesting read, and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of PKD's work.
