Jaffle Inc by Heide Goody and Iain Grant

Interesting concept.

With computer's, phones and technology in general taking over so much of our life I thought this to be very interesting story on what could all go wrong in the world. In that I was right.  

The book is about a world where our brains are all hooked up to an information centre and our extra processing is used to rule the world decisions and computers, such as traffic lights. Unless you can buy your way to another platform. As always the rich rule the world. 

Alice however accidentally gets the upgrade and learns what life is like where she can experience colours, tastes and love. 

I love seeing this. Alice is so pleased with the smallest things and really brings to light how we take small things for granted.

However, I have to admit the book really wasn't for me. I found it very hard to get into at the beginning. The writing was very robotic at that point which I'm assuming is to show Alice's thought process she was allowed at that time. I also felt was really slow therefore found was struggling with it.

It did improve as I read but it still didn't wow me or grab me the way I was expecting. This was just me personally I have read others by the authors and certainly wont be putting me off more.
