My Take:  I liked this book. I gave it a 4 stars on Goodreads.  You can't help but feel for the lead character Robert James Austin.  He has an IQ that can't be measured, there is no one that can keep up with him when he is working.  He doesn't really have any friends, everyone wants something from him.  He makes very powerful enemies and fuels his existence with alcohol and drug use.  I did figure out some of the twists in the book before they were revealed but that didn't make the book any less enjoyable and I didn't figure out the twist at the end.  Some of the scientific language and ideology was over my head but I felt that lent to the authenticity of the story.  I would recommend this book but be aware there was a bit of profane language and sexuality  was talked about.  Like I said there was alcohol and drug use.  

I received a review copy of this book from Pump Up Your Book in exchange for my honest thoughts.
