Positives

The most interesting part of this sequel was its discourse on augmented, “transhuman” life and

Eleanor’s

elitist perspective of futuristic human life.
 

Negatives

Many of the characters were passive or powerless, which was really frustrating because they either didn’t take action or didn’t know how. The whole

pedophilia

plot with Fred was incredibly disturbing and impacted my entire experience with the novel. I also hated the ending because it was such a blatant attempt at a cliffhanger and then there was never another installment. Ultimately, I think you can get what you need from Counting Heads and don’t need to read this installment.
