The Genetic Lottery (Egalia, #1)
A thought provoking dystopic novel. Short but fast-paced making for an exciting read. Gets more exciting with each chapter, unpredictable plot with enjoyable ending. Hope the author will publish a sequel soon ! Very worth it for just 99 cents !
Goh fails to properly introduce you to the world and plunges you right into the story. I had so many questions just from page one. She introduces new elements like a side note which makes for some rather chaotic storytelling. Her style of writing tells me rather than shows me the story and I was growing increasingly frustrated with how fake the characters seemed. New characters are introduced, given no personalities and then promptly discarded once their purpose had been fulfilled. This concept
Short but nice indeed. It opens up interesting topics about ethic and technology, first of all the importance of feelings: they come first power and money? And why? Can't wait for read the second book!
Badly in need of editing.
I love the fast-paced storyline and how it keeps me guessing who is the antagonist the entire time. Lots of twists and turns guaranteed! It also makes you think deeper about current technological/corporate/societal/political issues and some of the "futuristic" elements in the story is creepy but at the same time very plausible in the future as well. Kudos to the author's imagination!
If I were still a young English student, I'd be writing papers about the themes of the stories that naturally bubble up out of the zeitgeist. For some years now, pessimistic, dystopian stories and stories about apocalypses have been bubbling up on both sides of the Atlantic. One could debate whether these stories are written for a receptive market or whether there is something about our times that leads authors to write this kind of story. I'm a zeitgeister. I think writers write these stories

Relation During Books The Genetic Lottery (Egalia, #1)
The children of the Alpha5, the top 5 conglomerates in Egalia, find themselves up for public scrutiny when the news of their genetically selected origins is leaked to the public. Impossibly good looking, intelligent and heirs to the biggest fortunes in Egalia, the secret of their births has caused intense backlash. Not only do the public loathe them, they represent a betrayal of The Genetic Lottery, the system that forms the backbone of Egalian society. The Genetic Lottery promises every couple a child, free from all markers of genetic disease, but the Alpha5 children have far exceeded those parameters. Luckily, a revolutionary leader emerges, promising to tilt back the playing field with his cutting-edge technology, the Infinity Chip. Alex Etak promises to soothe the public furore and take down the genetically superior species by equipping the masses but does he have a separate agenda himself?Specify Epithetical Books The Genetic Lottery (Egalia, #1)
