"Sixteen-year-old Jeff Jacobson had never heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer who brutally murdered seventeen people more than twenty years ago. But then Jeff discovers he was constructed in a laboratory only eight years ago, part of a top-secret government cloning experiment called Project CAIN. And scientists created him entirely from Jeffrey Dahmer's DNA.
Jeff isn't the only teenage serial-killer clone. Others have been genetically engineered using the DNA of the Son of Sam, the Boston Strangler, and Ted Bundy. Some clones were raised, like Jeff, in caring family environments; others within homes that mimicked the horrific early lives of the serial killers they were created from.
When the most dangerous boys are set free, the summer of killing begins. Worse, they hold a secret weapon even more deadly than the terrible evil they carry within.
Can Jeff help catch the "monsters" before becoming one himself?"
Review:
Honestly, this book mostly sucked. By mostly, I mean it pretty much blew chunks. First, the premise promises this kid in the middle of an action-adventure-type story; you'd think, if there was a bunch of serial killers running around. But really, Jeff just sat on the sidelines and let Castillo take care of everything. He had no purpose in his own story! I would feel bad for him after the whole torture incident, but I mean come on! He couldn't even join arms at the end battle scene, he fucking hid. Second, the whole story was written without dialogue, it was all Jeff's thoughts. For example, when someone said something to him like, "Hi Jeff", instead of writing that dialogue, the author wrote, "the guy said hi to me". It made the story hard to follow, especially when Jeff was hallucinating. Third, I felt like this entire book was meant to uncover conspiracies. Most of the book was explaining other conspiracies unrelated to the plot. Also, there was a lot of unnecessary back story. I have so much I could rant about that really irritated me from this book, but I think you get the idea: IT SUCKED.
