## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very engaging and uniquely written
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in India on 10 October 2024*

Very nicely interconnected the science, the fiction and the philosophy revolving around human emotions and genetic outcomes.The story smoothly transitioned into different stages.The only thing I think it missed was how Kara got killed, it was way too easy to be killed like that with the abilities she had and I expected atleast some surprises that Logan should have faced when facing her in the end.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not his best, Lucy anyone?
  

*by D***I on Reviewed in India on 23 July 2022*

Have you seen the movie Lucy? This is lot like this but the premise is better. Upgrade by artificially altering genes. The book is fast paced and addictive, very hard to put down. But after I finished, 75% of it ... All that was left was ridiculous fiction and no science. So much so that I delayed reading through the final chapter because I was sure it will disappoint me.Again, maybe I have read Blake crouch too much and had high expectation. Would still recommend you read this book, one of the good sci fi. Not as good as hail Mary or other ones i read before it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Bit of a Letdown
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in India on 14 September 2022*

I am not much of a descriptive or insightful prose type reviewer though I used to be (many moons ago when life was a little less hectic) so let’s just sum it up in the corporate bullet point style, here goes folks.Pros:• Fast paced & adrenaline filled.• Dramatic twists.• A sense of compassion towards fellow human beings. Save the humanity agenda.• Protagonist is a family man though he doesn’t get to meet his family that often and is at loggerheads with one of them.• Genetic upgrade (human capability enhancement) is quite a novel concept in the genre of Sci-Fi thrillers.Cons:• Too much of jargon related to DNA, genetics, viruses, transmission et al.• Lacks the thrill factor of author’s previous works.• The whole story could have been reduced by 20-30 pages.• Loses its pace in between.• Ending was bit of a letdown.Many reviewers on Goodreads have rated it at par if not better than author’s last work “Excursion”. Let me just say that “Upgrade” is basically a downgrade (no pun intended) from the author’s previous works. While Excursion went a bit over the head with its convoluted storyline this one is pretty straightforward story telling but somehow it didn’t quite hit the bullseye so to say.No disrespect to Mr. Crouch though, along with Mr. Andy Weir he is still the best Sci-Fi writer out there.My order of preference for author’s works: Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter, Recursion, Upgrade.I think you got the gist.
