Reader Comments
Baby Baby is a great story, fascinatingly told and skillfully set in a novel that unpacks some fantastic dilemas about life, love and science. Highly recommended.
the first of many I hope!
I enjoyed the dialogue about the religious and ethical issues.
"Baby Baby" is really moving. You won't forget these characters once you have 'met' them.
This is an exciting, fast-moving story, almost a "who-dunnit"! It's also a book which takes personal and ethical dilemmas seriously, and examines them through credible, complicated characters.
Well worth reading and voting for!
A very well crafted story and I enjoyed the clever naming of two Scottish cousins Lewis and Harris.
A fascinating story, encapsulating many of the tensions in 1980s society.
I grew fond of the well-crafted characters while reading this book: with a great plot to drive it and a background of points to make you think, it is definitely worth a read.
Interestingly approaches a range of contemporary angst.
‘Baby Baby’ is a researched, questioning, open & honest look at life - a great read …
Thoroughly thought-provoking, pryingly personal, magnificently mutated, fantastically fertile, time-travelling … to the future.. It was a book well birthed and will remain relevant for generations to come.
Smart, savvy writing that took pains to get the science--and religious tension--right. A really good and thought-provoking read. Read this book! (Oh, and vote for this book too.)
