Extreme Makeover
Extreme Makeover: A Novel | Dan Wells
13 posts | 8 read | 2 reading | 10 to read
Dan Well's Extreme Makeover is a satirical new suspense about a health and beauty company that accidentally develops a hand lotion that can overwrite your DNA. Lyle Fontanelle is the chief scientist for NewYew, a health and beauty company experimenting with a new, anti-aging hand lotion. As more and more anomalies crop up in testing, Lyle realizes that the lotion's formula has somehow gone horribly wrong. It is actively overwriting the DNA of anyone who uses it, turning them into physical clones of someone else. Lyle wants to destroy the formula, but NewYew thinks it might be the greatest beauty product ever designed--and the world's governments think it's the greatest weapon. New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells brings us a gripping corporate satire about a health and beauty company that could destroy the world in Extreme Makeover.

Lyle is the chief scientist at a cosmetics company searching for a great anti-aging lotion. He ends up with something a bit different, discovering in tests that it has a major impact on the user‘s DNA. This is a faintly ludicrous book (but doesn‘t claim to be anything else), but it‘s really entertaining with some good social commentary. I give it a soft pick.

I have only two #pink books, and as I've already featured one of them, Extreme Makeover is my choice for today.

What I know of genetics from several years of biology class is that this book is plausible, which makes it extremely creepy. What if you could just slap on a cream and become a supermodel free of any genetic medical issues? We go as far as plastic surgery, what‘s a little fiddling around with DNA?

Science Fiction isn‘t one of my normal read genres, but the cover and book description caught my eye. This is a satirical look at the beauty industry and the lengths people will go to for their looks. Lyle Fontanelle accidentally creates a cloning hand lotion that has some people excited for extreme plastic surgery, others for the medical benefits, and some for political power and manipulation. The ending was a bit weak, but riveting throughout!

I had to go into the library today to renew my library card, and of course, I couldn‘t leave empty-handed!

I picked up a sci-fi novel about a cosmetic company‘s product creating clones, and Frederick Backman‘s novella!

Okay so I don't usually post selfies on here, but I just recently went through a pretty dramatic change with my hair and I kind of wanted to show it off. I went from blond💛 to blue💙 black🖤. I absolutely love it! But it's a big change. 😳

I have ALWAYS had long "mermaid" hair as people like to call it, but this new style is growing on me ?

Mehso-so

⭐⭐⭐✨
This book started out with so much potential. The concept of a beauty company creating a lotion that overwrites your DNA sounds like the set up for a horrifically, thrilling novel. However, this book could use some major editing...about 100 pages worth. 2/3's of the way through, I was just over it. No reason to keep dragging the story out and out and out. This took WAY too long to read.
