And then there was a car crash, a horrible injury, and a hospital. But before Evening Spiker's head clears a strange boy named Solo is rushing her to her mother’s research facility. There, under the best care available, Eve is left alone to heal.

Just when Eve thinks she will die – not from her injuries, but from boredom—her mother gives her a special project: Create the perfect boy.

Using an amazingly detailed simulation, Eve starts building a boy from the ground up. Eve is creating Adam. And he will be just perfect . . . won’t he?

Biography

Michael Grant was born in a manger.

Okay, no he wasn't. And that was a stupid thing to say. There was no manger. It was a log cabin. A log cabin in Los Angeles.

Or possibly a trailer.

And then while defending his country (technically it was his father, he was just an Army brat,) he moved all over the country and to France and became the incredibly well-educated, well-rounded, well-adjusted . . .

Yeah, okay that last part's a lie, too. The moving everywhere thing is true. But the sad reality is that Michael's a rootless, disconnected, indifferently-educated, sullen, obnoxious, disaffected misanthrope. With no hair. I mean seriously: look at the man's head. Do you see hair? No.

Where was I? I mean he.

Michael Grant is married to Katherine (K.A.) Applegate. They've been together for 30 years. Which doesn't say much for Katherine's judgment does it? And they've been writing for 20 years, sometimes as partners -- BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS, ANIMORPHS, EVERWORLD -- and sometimes on their own.

Michael and Katherine have two kids, Jake 12 and Julia 9. (Feet tall. Get it? 12 feet tall? Ah hah hah. Yeah, okay: not funny.) Anyway, the point is that Michael Grant is the author or co-author of 150 books. Yeah: 150. Most recently the critically-acclaimed GONE and HUNGER.

No, really: critically-acclaimed by VOYA, Booklist, School Library Journal, KLIATT and Publishers Weekly. And best of all by Stephen Freaking KIng himself! Oh, yeah: THE Stephen King. Of course Kirkus dumped on him, but Michael would like to make it clear that Kirkus is in no way a collection of illiterate halfwits. No! Never would Michael say such a thing.

Michael can be reached on Twitter @theFAYZ, or on Facebook as "authorMichaelGrant."

My Review: 6 Stars!!!  YUP 6 Stars!!

Ok if you follow me you will know that I dont care for long books.  If its over 300 pages then the chances that I am going to love it are slim.  This book is under 300 by just a few pages.  But I read this one in less than 24 hours. YAY!!

Eve and Adam surprised me so much!  It came in the mail on a SAT and I started reading it right then and there.  I loved it.  Eve and Adam is what I would call a LIGHT PARANORMAL SCIENCE FICTION BOOK.  It was very funny which was great!  The book is serious but not to the point where it turns into a snore fest.

This book was funny. riveting, and WAY unexpected.  I have read some of the reviews on goodreads and everyone called it a dystopian which I do not agree.  Although this book is set in the future where computers no longer have USB drives and I guess everyone is on the CLOUD (I love my apple products) this book is still set in a time frame not unlike our own.  I didn't find out that this book was a series until I was almost done with it.  Which was a surprise.  The ending of this book stops in a way that this book would be great as a stand alone or even better as a series.  I cant wait for Adam and Eve.  And I thank Macmillan for my review copy!
