Surprised at how much I enjoyed this, I couldn't put it down. Although slightly predictable, with a few plot holes, overall it's well-written. I really connected with the main character, Michael, and the impossible position he was trapped in. The rest of the family is not quite as intricately rendered - it would have been interesting to understand more of the mother's back story, for instance. I loved how the horrifying truth was slowly revealed. And although I guessed part of it, I didn't get the whole thing, and the reveal was no less satisfying. Definitely looking forward to reading Seed!
