  • The people in the book mentioned are Dr. Breed, Miss Pefko, and Dr. Nilsak.
  • I don't like how the book is set up and how the chapters are like a page each I'd rather be able to real by chapters.
  • Dr. Breed had been at the research laboratory for a year.
  • Wanted to show that scientist were heartless.
  • The cover of the book doesn't make it seem interesting but when you start to read its not as bad.
