Good book!!!!!! Loved the main character (the octopus)!!!

Liked the book!!! Wanted to see how it finished!!

When you enter this dystopian world you are quick to remember that life may be easier outside of this world. Everything is very regimented within this military world before you know it you are trying to shield your arms thinking you may also have special powers that are illegal.

Simon meets a dog that has a bone better than his. The trick is... this bone belongs to Simon's reflection! Funny story that leans toward acceptance.

If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

Sarah's writing voice comes out in her character's personalities. This was my first book, and based on their actions, I was able to determine a lot about them. So many things going on - main focus being to solve a murder with her best friend EIllie.

An infinitely readable family saga centering around the magnetic three sisters of a Swedish-Tunisian family and the curse that invades their lives. I loved the structure of this book (very important given the 600+ pages) and the way it drew you into the story of the immigrant experience and inescapable bonds of family, loss and love. Highly recommend.

Love the book!!!! And the twists!!!! Definitely a great read!!!
