Becoming Human Valerie J Freireich 9780451453969 Books

I read this book many years ago and just recently re-read it. It is about clones and politics. I think it deserves a much wider readership than it probably has had. It has very interesting ideas, the characters are well thought out and understandable. The plot is a little obtuse and I found myself re-reading to make sure I understood. The difference in the lives of the clones and the humans is disturbing. It is more like master and slave. I am probably mis-using the term "clone" but that is the way I understood it. August is a little too melodramatic in places but he is only 23 years.

The plot is described below in the publisher description.

Becoming Human Valerie J Freireich 9780451453969 Books Reviews

A great story of interstellar intrigue against a detailed setting of a future human society. I found it very enjoyable.
When I first began reading this book, I finished the first part of the book,and stopped. Normally, it doesn't strike to put down a book once i start since i could read approx. 200 pages per hour. But this book is depressing in the beginnig, so I stopped reading. But after several weeks, when it was time to read the book and do my book report, I realized how much i have missed out.

Alexander dies for saving his people and protecting the electors, however, they accused him being a traitor. When Alexander's clone twin, August was presented to the wide-range of electors, he blamed Alexander, than hated him, and in the end, admired him...

I have read several thousands of books in my life, and I don't like recommending books. I suggest people to read what they like, and enjoy what they read. To be honest, this is one of the first scientific fiction novel i have read so far, and the only book i would recommend people to try. It has a combination of different genres that make you fall head over heels on this book...
When I first discovered science fiction as a child, I eagerly devoured each new novel. Every story was new, with interesting ideas, fantastic situations, and interesting concepts and moral issues to explore.
Over the years, it seemed that I lost that feeling of wonder and awe. Each book seemed to be a re-visitation of concepts and ideas already explored in an earlier novel. Slowly, I drifted from the genre.
And then I read "Becoming Human".
I was transported back to my youth, and found myself reading a book with original ideas. Instead of just re-hashing someone else's story, this novel was totally new; it had a unique story concept, and was a riviting read.
I fully recommend this book to any science fiction fan who would like to re-visit his youth.
I bought this book on a recommendation from the Alternative Sexualities in Fantasy and SF Booklist compiled online by M.A. Mohanraj, and I'm now quite pleased that I did. Valerie Freireich is a lawyer as well as a writer, and it shows in her skillful depictions of conspiracies, secrets, political machinations, and diplomatic relations. Something of a Pinocchio / Frankenstein story set in a future where cloning and genetic manipulation are realities, Becoming Human is an exploration into the nature of humanity, loyalty, individuality, and love. It's been quite a while since I've enjoyed reading a SF novel so much as I've enjoyed this one.
