Review: A clever concept

The Experiment fits together seamlessly despite having three different narrators, and three separate authors. I did doubt whether this would work, not having read a book of this kind before, (hence it being 'an experiment'), but I feel that Sherry Gammon, Cindy C Bennett and Jeffery Moore have written an imaginative and intriguing story.The children all have very unique voices - Emiah is the most distrustful, but he is inquisitive and wants to be accepted. Juliet is the leader of the group, the one who formulates the plans, but there is an element of competition with her sister. Cilla really dislikes what she has become and needs support to adapt. As a group though they are a strong family unit and the reader sees them defend each other during their journey.There is obviously some fact in The Experiment as gene splicing currently takes place, but I am not sure if the authors are making any political statement with their story.Admittedly I found the neat HEA weak but then I am not sure how I would have chosen to end The Experiment if it had been my story. The authors have tied up the threads and not leave any room for a sequel, but I hope that they possibly have another project in the pipeline as this was a success.I received this as a review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
