Epsilon A.R. Book Review

Title : Epsilon A.R.

Author: Zackery Alexander Humphreys

Genre: Sci – Fi

Synopsis:

            This book is several years into the future where all of mankind are living in the wonderful city of Epsilon. The city is run by a government which likes to have everything scheduled for its inhabitants and everyone has to follow the same routine. Everyone is happy to have their days work already planned for them and they all follow the routine without questioning the authorities. ALN- 896 is an average man who goes against the law and saves a woman during a fire. He begins to have strange dreams and begins to question the mysteries of the Overland. In his dreams he see’s a man named Harry die and the next day he is arrested for murder. But is ALN-896 really capable of murder? Once in prison he starts to learn about the secretive government that runs the city and he decides to escape, not only from prison but from Epsilon itself.

Review:

            In the city of Epsilon everything is done systematically. Everyone wakes up at the same time, they all dress alike and have their work chalked out for them. The people here have serial codes instead of names. In this book the veil between the good and the bad is very prominent. ALN-896 is a strong minded man who not only goes against the law to save a dying woman but also dreams about life outside Epsilon. The book is well written but somewhat lacks to grasp the attention of the reader. It was enjoyable to read nevertheless.

Heart to Heart

The human heart is a complicated organ. Apart from the mandatory work it does to pump blood in and out to keep the human body alive it also has the supreme power to complicate simple matters and confuse the right brain with the left. It manages to love and want two people at the same time and yet tells itself one is better than the other. A heart that loves two other hearts at the same time shouldn’t love at all for it could never be loyal to any one heart solely. Loving is regarded as the second most important job for the heart. It’s the toughest job it has, though it wished at times it could delegate it to the other organs like the liver or maybe the kidney where they could possibly divide the work. Obviously the anatomy of the human body wouldn’t permit that thus the heart has no option but to do both its jobs skillfully. We often wonder why we listen to our heart more than our minds. The brain is the smartest organ in the human body. Every human body possesses it but it doesn’t mean that they use it. That’s the advantage the heart takes and makes the human make unreasonable life changing or life threatening decisions. The wise decisions are always made by the brain and when a decision makes the human body regret it’s simply the heart that has to be blamed. Most often the heart and brain don’t work together but when they do it’s amazing how they make all things clear. The human heart cant love two hearts at the same time it’s impossible so the brain makes the heart realize that it needs to just focus, hold on and put in all the effort needed to love that one heart who it really loves. It also helps with simpler matters like falling in love or with more complex one’s like falling in love with the right person.

 Most of our hearts are afraid to fall in love, but here’s a message from my heart to yours:

Don’t be afraid to fall in love, it’s not so bad! Just make sure your heart and mind consult each other before doing so!
