My Thoughts
Placebo was an action-packed, exciting, thrill ride of a novel. There was never a dull moment. It's one of those books that is almost impossible to put down. It's the first Steven James book that I've read, but it definitely won't be my last. It's written in a way that's utterly compelling and had me turning the pages as fast as possible. From the first sentence to the last, I was hooked. Though there were times when things got technical with all the scientific explanations, it didn't hinder my enjoyment one bit. It was extremely interesting, even if I didn't understand it all, lol. I'd highly recommend Placebo to anyone who enjoys thrillers. I'm can't wait to start reading book two, Singularity.
4.5 Stars
