Marlon – He’s Cameron’s best friend, I did like him but his family’s actions did taint him for me. Don’t get me wrong, what happened and why is explained but I still find it hard to trust him. However, despite the failings of those around him he was a good friend and (kind of) loyal. I don’t think he’s one of the best characters in the book though.

The frustration of all the characters leading to snappiness at each other, even though you all mean the world to each other. The story offers all types of readers the opportunity to learn about scientific research and the ethics involved through presenting the story through the mind of Callum himself. Indeed, throughout the story questions are posed to the reader about the morality of certain characters actions. For example, was it right for Callum to accept the Pigs heart? Was it fair on Trudy the pig? What would you do if you were Callum? Was Marlon being a caring friend or looking after his family? and so much more! the novel ends up sadly, and in an unknown conclusion, you always would want people to live on, even if it is only a ch. of ink and paper,I guess there is always hope for Cam, and to renew his goal about Alex.

I just never trust him, even though he’s helping others a part of me feels it’s purely for his own gain. I don’t think that’s a bad thing though, I don’t think anyone ever entirely trusts someone like Dr Byron,Flood, Alison (13 February 2014). "Ruth Ozeki beats Thomas Pynchon to top Kitschie award".

I think the blurb makes it seem the Dad is in prison and I assumed it was for murder or something, but the truth is he went to trial and came home, although he was going to have his trial later and maybe put in prison. At the end of the book, it becomes evident that he wouldn’t have even gone to prison, as the people that actually did it said they would ensure that didn’t happen.
