Project Cain by Geoffrey Girard

2.0

I was so excited when I read the premise of Project Cain. It sounded like it would be a cool and interesting read, sadly I was quite disappointed. The book isn't at all what I expected. I thought we'd have this cool main character who was essentially good but struggled with a darker side of himself since he's DNA is the same as Jeffrey Dahmer. I expected a lot more action and mystery and suspense. What I got felt like a huge history lesson. There was a lot of information about different famous serial killers, how they killed their victims, how they got their nicknames, and while some of it was interesting, I felt NONE of it was relevant to the story. There was also a lot of information about clones as well so it was a history lesson and a science lesson. How any of it is important to the plot of the story is beyond me. I also did not like that there was no actual dialogue in the book. The whole time it was he said this, he said that. This book did way too much telling and not nearly enough showing. The ending had quite a bit of action, which makes the book a tiny bit better but overall it was just way too much information and not enough of the actual story. This book had great potential and it's sad that it just wasn't executed well, 2 stars.
