About this listen

Perfect People is a compelling and thought-provoking thriller from bestselling Peter James.

John and Naomi are grieving the death of their four-year-old son from a rare genetic disorder. They desperately want another child, but they realize the odds of their next child contracting the same disease are high.

Then they hear about geneticist Dr Leo Dettore. He has methods that can spare them the heartache of ever losing another child to any disease.

At his clinic is where their nightmare begins.

They should have realized something was wrong when they saw the list. Choices of eye colour, hair, sporting abilities. They can literally design their child. Now it's too late to turn back. Naomi is pregnant and already something is badly wrong . . .

not really well developed

became increasingly predictable. characters are not well developed. there was a lot of lag on unimportant details and it seemed to skip over opportunities for depth. end was unexpected however.

Easy listening

Enjoyable and easy listening. Certainly an unexpected twist in the end but what else can one expect from Peter James.

Disappointing

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I normally love Peter James books but this was just too Science Fiction for me. I thought it would deal with the social side of this subject but instead it because way out there.

Has Perfect People turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, because it wasn't quite the genre I presumed it to be when considering other titles by this author.

Do you think Perfect People needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, the finish left it with nowhere to go with a follow-up

Interesting subject, surprising plot

Designer baby's, that's a hell of a subject for a socalled crime fiction book. There's so much that can go wrong! This story is no exception. Peter James is an intelligent writer and his stories have a heart. It's an exciting book with a riveting end. The excellent narrator has a beautiful voice.

Be careful what you wish for

Was way to long and the parts about the cults could be cut out and not missed. At first the story pulled me in but by the ending I was more than ready for the really bad ending. I really disliked how the reader tried to sound like a male. Would not recommend.
