But personally, cliché plots don’t bother me! As long as the story is good and there are interesting elements, I have no problem with a scientists vs.

If these kind of “typical” overarching plots bother you, then Origin might not be for you. the natives, but then loaded with creativity. It’s like Avatar: really cliché plot about the scientists vs. The overall conflict isn’t very original, it suffers from insta-love, and I thought there were a lot of plot holes with the science/immortality aspects. Origin wasn’t a perfect book, but I found it to be a really enjoyable and intense read! I got through it really quickly and was never bored! But that being said, I can completely understand how this is a love it or hate it kind of book. Origin is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin-a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home-and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.įree in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest.
