4.0 out of 5 stars Mind-swapping ahoy!, 20 Mar 2007
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
A woman wakes up with gaps in her memory, and starts jumping between different personailities - is she a method actress lost in her character, a memory junkie who feeds on others personalities, an undercover cop in the Brain Police...or all three?

'Fools' is an incredibly complicated science fiction novel, not due to any hard scientific jargon but due to it's constantly twisting plotline and dizzying shifts in perspective. Every character has hidden secrets, and most of the characters have several different personalities flitting through their heads - it's hard work, and some less patient readers may find the reward may not ultimately be worth the effort. The novel works by wrong-footing the reader with the 'russian doll' like onion layers of the heroine's personaility, but while it's a good trick the novel ultimately comes across as something of a one-trick pony, and after a couple of hundred pages it all becomes a little repetitious.

The complex plot is a joy to behold, but 'Fools' is ultimately a novel that is easy to admire, but hard to love.
