Review: Imperfect
Rating: 5 out of 5

A stellar first novel set in a futuristic society, where DNA isn't just tested, it is manipulated. Children are creations of genetic perfection, and those born without the ideal pre-planning involved are considered "Accidents." Most of these natural, unaltered newborns simply disappear, and with public opinion molded into a general "out of sight, out of mind" viewpoint... no one questions what happens to the children. Until a strange series of events pushes the few unaltered teens together, and soon they are risking everything to answer the questions they thought no one wanted ask.A great read for both the YA and adult crowd, it is an entertaining thrill ride through a very realistically created world. One that evokes a lot of serious introspection when you ask "What if I could have the child of my dreams - everything from hair and eye color to health, intelligence, and athleticism? What is the real price, and who is ultimately paying it?"Thought provoking novels always keep me glued until the last page. I can heartily recommend checking out Tina Chan's first publication, and then wait rather frustatedly for the next installment, "Flawless."
