I’ve read hundreds of books and I can guess how most of them will end, sometimes even where the plot will go. But I have to say I was unable to predict what’s going to happen in Taming the Telomeres. R.N. Shapiro wrote a fantastic novel, I was simply drawn to the story, right from the start.
I think only Stephen King was able to do something like this, it’s just amazing how the storyline clicks with you. The first scene was marvelously written and you get through the first chapter without realizing how much pages you’ve read! R.N. Shapiro kept building the momentum in Taming the Telomeres so I couldn’t leave the book and stayed up late until I finished it. I had a couple rough mornings, but it was worth it!
The characters are well developed and they fit the plot perfectly. There are so many twists and turns, you won’t know what’s going to happen and will do good guys win. Mystery, intrigue and a bit of sci-fi is what you will get if you decide to get this novel. It’s a great read, and I’m sure I will get back to this book in a year or two. It’s what I usually do when I get my hands on a masterpiece and Taming the Telomeres IS a masterpiece.
