5.0 out of 5 stars Fugitive child proidigy, July 6, 2006
This review is from: BRAIN MACHINE (The Garland Library of Science Fiction) (Hardcover)
Terrifically suspenseful and readable tale of a small boy artificially made super-intelligent by scientists. He escapes his keepers and uses his superior brain to evade authorities and get along in the adult controlled world. If you liked James Patterson's "When the Wind Blows" and sequels, you'll like this original, tightly written suspense novel even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book. Should be reprinted., June 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: BRAIN MACHINE (The Garland Library of Science Fiction) (Hardcover)
I read this book years ago, and remember it as very insightful, slightly seedy, and masterfully written. Of course, I >was< in grade school at the time, and might not have the same opinion now.
