I'm not a sci-fi addict (rather a YA paranormal romance addict) but i loved all of Jason's books including this one. I must admit that i was given this book to read but my opinion of this book is not influenced by the fact that i did not pay for it.And what a story did Jason craft! I thoroughly enjoyed the futuristic scenes (to my understanding the timeline of this book is 80 yrs in the future). It was very clever and well thought through. I liked the fact that, to me, the 'future' in this book is very possible. His 'Connect' concept is like the ultimate social medium thats pretty cool and imaginative. Spencer, the heroine, lives in the world of perceived equality whereby everyone has everything they need and want and money is no longer used as anything can be 'cloned' through a machine. Governments and schools no longer exists and you can have a half cyborg BFF. In the world where you live and die by Idols (anything from a superstar to a female cartoon character), Spencer becomes an idol overnight through genius concoction of a story. So much action going on in the story and it is such a page turner.There was one part that i found weird was the body switch part. Otherwise its a pretty cool book to read. Thanks Jason.
