The Family Experiment by John Marrs
4.5
The Family Experiment has so many things going for it:
- Short chapters
- Trippy plot
- Mixed media
- Fast-paced
- Immersive audiobook
The chapters are delightfully short. The plot is wild, fast-paced and supported by a mixed media format (which I always enjoy). The audiobook is so immersive, with music so that the ads (such as webuyanyavatar.com 😂) sound like real ads and the messages have a sound similar to the WhatsApp message sound. This book is like The Hunger Games but for people wanting to start a family. This is my first John Marrs book and it was a wild ride.
My only criticism is that the main plot wrapped up around the 90%-ish point. The remaining chapters did carry on revealing little twists or informing the reader of the current situation of the main characters, but the pace slowed down a bit here. Otherwise, a great read!
