This book is remarkable.

Possibly one of the best genera books I have ever read. And the author should be commended for the quality of his narration.

Is it "Let the right one in?" No. Nothing can be. But it is easily that books next door neighbor.

Really really not very good.

What would have made Daimones better?

I thought the set up was interesting, but it just didn't go anywhere.
And the payoff was both predictable and in my opinion kind of a cheap trick.
I was really hoping the author wasn't going to push the whole Biblical/spiritual connection to the aliens thing.

As far as Science fiction goes, I prefer a more objective approach when it comes to the characters.

Also, the whole polygamous subplot was just silly and unrealistic. Not because it can't work, but how easily accepted this massive life change was and how quick it came about. Not to mention how far ahead it was telegraphed. It, like large chunks of the rest of the book felt like it was the author working his own agenda in, rather than allowing the characters to act in realistic ways.

Also, while the performance as a whole was ok, the treatment of the different characters voices was distracting. They sounded as if they were recorded at different times and then edited together. Or that there was subtle pitch shifting to make the voices seem more "female," but it ended up sounding detached.

What could Massimo Marino have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I honestly don't know. It would take a pretty massive rewrite.

What three words best describe Jeff Hays’s performance?

Adequate at best

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Adequate story... Weak ending.

So much set up... But the payoff if you can call it that was not worth it.

There is nothing I can write that will do this book justice. Which I suppose makes it by definition sublime.
