Review: Better Than I Expected
Rating: 4 out of 5

I am surprised by the number of three star reviews.  I would give this story 4.5 if it were possible.  I feel that Altered was an interesting science fiction piece with a lot to offer.I suppose that I should begin by stating that there are definitely connections between chunks of the story-line in Altered and The Island of Doctor Moreau, but, then again, everything that comes into existence is inspired by something else.  That being said, this certainly is not just a story where the author set The Island of Doctor Moreau in space in a cheap attempt to pump out some fiction.In terms of inspiration I also got a Twilight Zone feel at certain times.  Personally, I consider that a good thing.  I felt that the main character was engaging and the twist at the end was well played.I would recommend this book to any fan of sci-fi especially for the price.I should also say that I received this book for free from Amazon in exchange for a review.
