Elijah-Co by Dan W. Luedke


 

Review

I have mixed feelings about this book.  The writer himself is a doctor, and this is his first book to be published.  The basic concept is good, interesting.  However, I have problems with the implementation.  Lars is the protagonist who, along with his wife, represents morality in principle.  However, this only appears in words, in reality they do nothing against unethical attempts and murders, and even accept them as a necessary evil.  The story of the book is built on dialogues that are pretty boring, uninteresting, and don’t sound like we’re talking in real life.  The characters are not sympathetic, and whoever they might be, they will soon die under suspicious circumstances.

But the basic concept is interesting, sometimes it’s good to dream about how good it would be if we could live forever and if it only took one injection to be young again.  The writer probably has his own experience of how experimenting and testing such a drug would work, but I felt quite a bit of professionalism in the procedure.

Despite the problems described above, I have read through the book, which is a positive.  But it was more because of my patience, not because the story was so exciting.  And in vain I waited in the end for the big twist or to get a proper finish.  The end of the book seems cluttered, it made me more upset.

If the writer were to rewrite the book with the help of a professional editor, there could be a chance of success being a good book that is worth reading.
