Dan Wells' Extreme Makeover is a satirical new suspense novel about a health and beauty company that accidentally develops a hand lotion that can overwrite your DNA.

Lyle Fontanelle is the chief scientist for NewYew, a health and beauty company experimenting with a new antiaging hand lotion. As more and more anomalies crop up in testing, Lyle realizes that the lotion's formula has somehow gone horribly wrong. It is actively overwriting the DNA of anyone who uses it, turning them into physical clones of someone else. Lyle wants to destroy the formula, but NewYew thinks it might be the greatest beauty product ever designed - and the world's governments think it's the greatest weapon.

New York Times best-selling author Dan Wells brings us a gripping corporate satire about a health and beauty company that could destroy the world in Extreme Makeover.

I was hooked from the first chapter. Great plot, very good pacing. There were a few leaps the author made that didn't fully make sense, but they didn't ruin the story for me.

Original and engrossing

Once again, Dan Wells creates a world that seems ideal and perfect than all hell breaks loose.

What I loved and appreciated the most about this novel is how deeply he made me turn within and reassess my standards... Exactly how far is it OK for us to "dabble" with genetics and "playing God".

This is an especially touchy subject because we have a sweet , precious baby in our family putting up the fight of her life, and fight she's not going to win, and all of us are just heart broken. What would I give to have access to "Rebirth" for her? 🤷‍♀️. Or should we let "nature take it's course"?

These questions, and so many like these, are threaded throughout this novel, and are a major reason why this book is exceptional.

EVERYONE should read it! I LOVE books that make you think and cause you to reevaluate yourself and life.

Never stop writing, Dan, and I will never stop singing your praises!

You have a fan for life!

What is your price for beauty or health? Anything goes or stand by your ethics and morals?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this story as the storyline is pretty interesting. However, the main character is not my favourite. He isn't the type to go getter and fix the problem and face things. He tends to run and hide and try only as hard as he needs to.

Any additional comments?

The principle of the story is great. It's worth a read.

Good storyline - weak main character

Like listening to a mesmerizing train wreck, only instead of coming to a screeching halt, it keeps gaining momentum and causing more and more damage as it goes, and as terrifying as it is, you just can't look away, even at it convinces you it's heading straight for you!

horrifyingly beautiful and unique!

I have enjoyed every Dan Wells book I've read to varying degrees of success, and his first adult protagonist with adult concerns and ethics gripped me almost immediately. Between scientific forays into the cosmetics industry and the greed behind everything that drives the narrative, you feel almost as helpless as the characters, although I felt the urge on multiple occasions to slap a few of them upside the head. The feel of the novel echoes Stephen King in places; sinister evil lurking within the characters themselves, that they will either overcome or they will let it seal their doom.

Apocalypse Edition indeed

I won’t spoil it, but the ending was right up my alley. Extreme makeover is a love letter to Michael Crichton, and a great one. Loved the performance and the book.

Terrifying And Fantastic

asks questions about society, self, and ways that we may destroy ourselves.

Once you get past the meeting at the beginning, it moves fast.

fascinating book

This is a very interesting, speculative, cynical story about medical and cosmetic (cos-medical) ethics. The beginning makes you think you made a mistake and downloaded a documentary rather than a novel, but it gets past that pretty soon. The strongest statement it makes is that the medical community is not interested in cures but rather treatments, which create lifelong customers. The second strongest statement is really a question: does anyone have the right to make life-changing decisions for an unknowing other person? If so, who, when, and under what circumstances? Beyond that it talks about health, beauty, government, taking a stand, doing good versus being good. You could also argue it deals with evolution and civilization. The actual ending is mentioned in the beginning and laughed at by those involved, so it's not clear what statement the author is making there. I don't think any other ending could be believed, but I still didn't like it.

The narration is very good with distinct voices, good accents and differentiation.

The ending knocked it down a star

I loved the cynical look at the way the world reacts to beauty products. Awesome!

It's the little thing that will kill.
