First things first: If you haven't read Dark Eden you REALLY should read that one first. You will not be completely lost in this one if you don't, but you will miss out on quite a lot. The characters tell each other stories about the past.
If you didn't like Dark Eden, then it seems certain you wouldn't like Mother Eden either. In some ways it seems less dismal and creepy but people still say a word twice instead of saying very ("it was dark dark" instead of "it was very dark"...although one time they say "prettier" which seemed a bit out of place to me. They also still have their slang that may rub people the wrong way, like "slipping" for sex, etc.
Now, if you've read Dark Eden and you liked it...get to it, Read This Book!
I'm a little obsessed with Eden... as you can tell. I'm really hoping there is another book after this one. Really, really, there are so many places to go from here. Read this book and then imagine it on a huge screen, maybe in 3D...it would be so amazing. Almost too creepy creepy!
I got this book from Blogging for books! Thanks guys!!
