About this deal

The book is well written, and the author does a great job at distinguishing between several characters who are effectively the same person. But, as it never happens (maybe), the wrong Will 790 gets slurried, and The “Veteran” Will 790 survives another day MORE.

Regarding the characters – or can I say character (singular) since everyone we meet in the book is an exact copy of each other – they are done brilliantly. For example, Etsy prohibits members from using their accounts while in certain geographic locations. Mine is about a futuristic amusement park where dinosaurs are brought to life through advanced cloning techniques.I got killed there by the last dinosaur before proceeding to the boat part and I respawned outside of the dinosaur area on the road.

The novel sticks with me though, I find myself pondering it – trying to think of how the ending could have been better. Are we all just socio-cultural clones going through the motions and serving the powers that be all the time on a doomed train ride to personal and societal oblivion? Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited. While the title might seem silly and the story starts off light, this book really touches on several topics and does so in an intelligent manner.It tells the story of Will, a William clone in a world made exclusively of William clones (a real nightmare for anyone like me, who happens to have a brother named Bill). First, there was no real explanation for how one William clone could be a doctor, or an engineer, while others were dental insurance agents, or slurry operators. I can't really look in depth at the characters in this book as it was really only the one character many times, but I loved the choice of 'William' to be the clone.

I am coming to think of him as the closest thing to the reincarnation or spiritual successor of Ray Bradbury. Some parts of the book were difficult for me to follow, not because all the characters had the same name, but because sometimes the passage of time wasn’t all that clear. He’s never used his personal equipment for self gratification so he’s in the dark about natural procreation.This means that Etsy or anyone using our Services cannot take part in transactions that involve designated people, places, or items that originate from certain places, as determined by agencies like OFAC, in addition to trade restrictions imposed by related laws and regulations. I'm not sure if satires usually end in this manner but the ending is where I was slapped in the face that this is still a horror story. There is also a horror element which was more subtle than in Kozeniewski's zombie novels, but was just as disturbing. To be honest, I read the title, prior to the synopsis and was totally clueless as to what I was getting into.
