Summary: Four Stars for Eva
Comment: I was never into the science fiction type of literature, but this book was an exception. This is one of the titles I chose to read for a presention in a college literature class (Adolescent Literature). I read the entire book in about two days. I gave this book a high rating because I think that the adolescent age frame would really enjoy reading this novel. It's based on the future perspective of the world and how humans have totally destroyed the living space for animals. It has an unreality twist to the plot also when Eva is in a horrible accident and the only way that her mother and father can save their little girl is to turn her personality over to a chimp's body. With the science fiction twist and the easy understanding of the novel, I would definately encourage teens to read it. It's an interesting story with a good story line to read into. Even if you don't like to read science fiction novels, this certain novel is more than just a science fiction novel, it's a look into the future with a touch of family love and scientist's love for animals.

Summary: Unique and Visionary Book for Teens
Comment: Eva is the story of a teenage girl who is in a car accident and undergoes a procedure to enable her to keep living. The first part of the book concentrates on Eva awakening and adapting to her new self and is excellent. Teens will definitely identify with her feelings of separation and her frustration at her lack of control. They may also learn from her strong will and unfailing attitude.
The second part of the book concentrates on Eva's newfound "purpose" in life. Her new life is worlds away from her old life as a pretty, admired teen. What she decides to do with her life, her fame, and her self are very intriguing and the author uses her situation to voice views about conservation, animal welfare and rights, and the state of the human race and condition. Some readers may find this portion of the book preachy, but I found it very valuable and an interesting frame for familiar views.
Eva is well-written and exciting. Descriptions are extremely vivid and realistic, and I found it easy to get involved in the story. The characters are very defined and skillfully drawn. This is a valuable book for humans of all ages.

Summary: A Little Weird
Comment: I read this book some time ago 1-2 years ago for a required reading for school. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I mean the first few chapters where weird. But in the end it was. OK. Not the best but. OK. A Little confusing and boring at times. But not the worst. I would give it 3 stars.
