The Perfection of Fish

Thankyou to NetGalley, Black Rose Writing and the author, J S Morrison, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of The Perfection of Fish in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I will be the first to admit, I don't know what it was about this book that drew me in. You certainly cannot judge a book by its cover. The premise of the storyline had piqued my interest, so I thought "why not". I am so glad I did.
The first couple of pages had me wondering what I had gotten myself into. But, I kept turning those pages. I had to. The more I read, the more I wanted to read. I was hooked.
No words can describe how good this book is. Everything from the narrative, the vivid scenery and imagery to the characters, was well thought out and written.
Absolutely loved reading this book and would highly recommend it.

Morrison has written a cautionary tale about genetic engineering. The story flowed smoothly. I enjoyed Morrison's sense of irony. It's a non stop read.

I want to thank NetGalley, the publisher, and author J.S. Morrison for providing me with an ARC of the novel The Perfection of Fish!

Something about this novel piqued my interest, and I’m really glad that I requested it! Once I initially started this and got into it, I couldn’t put it down. The world building was done beautifully and the narrative suckered me in! A precautionary tale about genetic engineering that was executed perfectly. If this interests you in the slightest, read it!

Thank you again to those named above for the chance to read and review this novel!

This has a cool premise and it's executed quite effectively via interesting characters and an imaginative plot, along with clever aspects and humor. I admire the author's creativity and writing skills, and look forward to his next book.

As always, thanks to Black Rose for the review copy!!

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in response for an honest review.

Right off the bat this book was quick paced and character driven. It was nonlinear, which I do usually love, and this was no exception. It follows a handful of characters that don't actually intertwine until a good chunk of the way through, but their separate journeys are just as interesting as what happens once they do get together.

Not going to lie, it was a bit confusing at times and I was left wondering if this book was going to be as good as I originally thought, but I turned out to really like it. The characters were interesting, with complete backstories, sometimes even going as far back as their childhood. I was a bit slow to understand the world and what actually was going on, but as I read, it was explained to me fairly well. I love characters fighting bleak futures and this was quintessentially that. I was able to place myself in the book since the scenes were described, at times, almost too well. Overall this was really good and I would recommend it to people who love realistic science fiction futures.
