Sapient
by Jerry Kaczmarowski
Genres: Thriller / Young Adult
Abandoned by her husband after the
birth of their child, Jane Dixon’s world is defined by her autistic son and the
research she does to find a cure for his condition. She knows her work on
animal intelligence may hold the key. She also knows that the research will
take decades to complete. None of it will ultimately benefit her son.
All that changes when a lab rat named
Einstein demonstrates that he can read and write. Just as her research yields
results, the U.S. government discovers her program. The army wants to harness
her research for its military potential. The CDC wants to shut her down
completely. The implications of animal intelligence are too dangerous,
particularly when the previously inert virus proves to be highly contagious.
She steals the virus to cure her son,
but the government discovers the theft. She must now escape to Canada before
the authorities can replace her son’s mental prison with a physical one.

The description pretty much sums up what this
book is about and because of it, I knew that this one was a must read that I
had to pick up immediately. Was I glad
that I did? Heck yes! This was money and time well spent for this
kind of reading experience.
Sapient by Jerry Kaczmarowski had me hooked from
page one and I could not put it down until I knew the outcome. Now that I think about it, 'hooked' isn't really a strong enough word to
describe my experience. It consumed me and
had a grip on me so bad, I was obsessed with it - needing to know more and
frantically turning each page like my life depended on it. It was paced really well and the characters
were amazing - especially Einstein and Bear. These two really steal the show and I fell in
love with them instantly. I mean how can
you not like a sarcastic funny lab rat and German Sheppard dog with one eye? The human characters weren't half bad either,
but I really have a soft spot for the animal kingdom and Mr. Kaczmarowski
really brought these characters to life.
This was not only a compelling and thought provoking
read, it was Intriguing and original. The story took many twists and turns, some I
saw coming and others caught me totally off guard, which in my opinion make this
not only a good read, but an awesome read.
I highly recommend this thrilling and spectacular book - so one click it
now! You won't be disappointed at all!
