With Eve and Adam, authors Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant team up to create a thrilling story.

In the beginning, there was an apple –

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?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Evening, the daughter of a powerful genetic-engineering visionary, is whisked from the hospital hours after surgeons reattach her leg following a traffic accident. While recovering at her mother’s research facility, Spiker Biopharmaceuticals, Eve meets Solo, the orphaned son of Spiker’s partners, who is collecting damaging information that could take down the whole corporation. Meanwhile, Eve is making some discoveries of her own. First, her leg is flawless mere days after being severed. Then there’s her creation of Adam, a computer that simulates a man from the DNA up. Questions build into a late-night chase around Seattle, a clever rescue of Eve’s troubled friend, and a dramatic and dangerous climax. Solo and Eve, who swap narration duties, have clearly differentiated voices, and when Adam appears in the flesh, he does as well. Too many logical leaps and unanswered questions about the Spiker program could be problematic for dedicated sf fans, but the blend of action and suspense will be welcoming for plenty of others. HIGH-DEMAND NOTE: Grant is behind the best-selling Gone series, and the husband-wife team cowrote the popular Animorphs series. That kind of pedigree moves books. Grades 7-10. --Heather Booth

Review

“...the blend of action and romantic suspense will be welcoming…” ―Booklist

“Observant, smart, and unencumbered by emotion, this is a tasty read that readers will devour in a flash.” ―Publishers Weekly

“The husband-wife team behind the Animorphs series returns with the first installment of an entertaining saga that pits smart teens against high-tech evildoers and bionic skullduggery.” ―Kirkus

“It'll make 'em laugh. It'll make 'em think. You may want to buy multiples.” ―School Library Journal

“Grant and Applegate portray a chilling brave new world of genetic technology, presenting fascinating speculative possibilities that are weighed against their moral implications.” ―The Horn Book

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Grant was born in Los Angeles but that's not important because he was soon out of there. His father was a military man, frequently transferred, so Michael was the "new kid" in school every year but one. He left school early and embraced the rootless lifestyle as his own. He's lived in more flats and houses than he can recall, all across the US and in France and Italy as well. He's back in California as of this writing but with no plans to stay put.

Michael met his wife, Katherine (K.A.) Applegate, 37 years ago, in Austin, Texas. He saw her through her apartment window and immediately knocked on her door. They've been together since that first meeting.

Michael Grant did not set out to be a writer. He's worked as a stock clerk, a house painter, an apartment manager, busboy, waiter, restaurant manager, janitor, editorial cartoonist, political media consultant, documentary producer, and no doubt some other jobs he's managed to forget. After ten years working odd jobs together, Katherine informed Michael that it was time for them both to grow up, get careers, possibly have children. Once he was revived, Michael agreed.

Katherine and Michael began writing in 1989, often as a team, and wrote 150 books, including the ANIMORPHS series.

They have two disobedient children, Jake, 19, and Julia, 16, a yappy Chihuahua-ish dog (Katherine's), a hateful cat named Lightning (Katherine's) and an okay cat named Scooter.

It ROCKED

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2013

It was so good. It was super freaky and scary and so different from any other book I've read. Eve is put into her mothers research hospital and is thrust into a adventure like no other. The author did an amazing job!

The only thing I didn't like was the freaky mutants. But it was so funny in some parts that I am really glad I bought it. Even though it does go against everything I believe (Christen) I loved the book to death and i would request it to everyone who wants to read it. A book like no other.

review I devoured this book in three sittings - life got in the way else I would've finished it in one.

It starts out a little slow but once the story starts, it doesn't stop and moves a frenetic speed towards a rather dissatisfying ending. I'm assuming this is the first book in a series, because if it isn't I will be furious! Premise - brilliant. Prose - crisp and almost acerbic. Characters - different, interesting, over the top, lovely. Story - great but... I'm not sure what the but is here. I think I just wanted more out of this story particularly more from Solo who I thought was really the star of the book and deserved way more time telling his story than he got. Whole book written from Solo's POV please, Michael Grant!

Also, do not let the title put you off becuase you think you know where the story will lead and how the relationship will work out. Without providing any spoilers, suffice it to say, you will be pleasantly surprised that Grant manages to avoid cliche.

I had a hard time getting into this book. Otherwise it was average at best. It’s about genetics. If you like the idea of cloning, and genetics, then this is your book. Good luck and enjoy.

First of all, I know a bunch of people might be worried that I bought the wrong copy of EVE AND ADAM.. thanks, but I know that it's only chapters 1-5. I had ordered this from the library, and I couldn't wait for it to get here, so I got a head start. Not only that, but I love that they offer free choice. 1-5 stuff because you can see if you really want to get the book or if it already sounds boring. I love Michael Grant' s writing style... the book literally sucks you in... DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

A few typical ethical questions regarding genetic engineering are brought up in this fun, young-adult novel

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

Eve and Adam is a cute, young adult science fiction book.

Eve, a teen who is mostly worried about her homework, is in an accident and her leg is almost severed. Her mother shows up at the hospital and transfers her to the bio-pharmaceutical company that she owns. Mom sets daughter up with a project: design the perfect man, via genetic simulation on a computer. Eve's best friend helps her a bit as Eve thinks about the ideal intelligence level, muscles, and such. While Eve is in Weird Science land, Solo, her mother's ward, shows up and meets her. Solo gets Eve to see some truths about her life and involves her in his plan to destroy her mother.

This book is definitely set up for young adults. I'm a forty-year-old housewife and I enjoyed it, but if I were to write it for my age group, there'd be a lot more substance in it.

That said, I think I'll try to get my daughter to read it in a few years. There are some great discussion topics in it.

Is there such a thing as too intelligent?
Is helping a lot of people worth hurting a few?
What is morally acceptable in the pursuit of research?

Enjoyed it

This was the first book that I've ever read like that and I thought it was really good. It is kind of hard to get in to at first .
Eve`s relationship with her best friend was very annoying, in my opinion.
I loved the plot twist at the end tho.
All in all the book was very enjoyable !

Great idea, but disappointed in how it was fulfilled. So much could have been done with this idea. But it became too predictable, and corny. Please write YA novels with substance, and different than everything already out there. YA deserve quality too. I truly wish this had been a better story.

I always enjoy this book, the characters are well designed and are very entertaining, the plot is unique and interesting but still believable. Overall it’s a great romantic sci-fi adventure that young teens will love.

Otro remake de la historia más antigua

Reviewed in Spain on November 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

Si no has leído la biblia, al menos has oído hablar de la historia de Adam y Eva. Bien, pues esta es (sí, prepárate) OTRO remake de esa misma historia. Es un libro entretenido y que crea una trama relativamente interesante con personajes en ocasiones predecibles. No es el mejor libro que he leído, pero no está mal para pasar el rato y siempre es interesante ver cómo dos escritores se las apañan para fusionar sus ideas en un solo libro sin que sea obvio quién a escrito qué. Para evitar SPOILERS, dejaré que lo descubras tú, lector.

Aucun sentiment ressenti pendant la lecture, malheureusement :/

Pourquoi j'ai lu ce roman ? Parce que j'étais tombée sur la version française en librairie qui m'avait emballée, alors j'avais fouillé le net à ce propos, et admettons-le, la version originale est beaucoup plus classe que la VF, pas vrai? Bon.

Ce roman n'a pas la réputation d'être extraordinaire, alors je ne m'attendais pas à le trouver extraordinaire et j'ai bien fait. Mais commençons par le commencement.

Dès le début on entre dans le vif du sujet, on sent qu'il y a un mystère et c'est le mâle qui va y faire allusion à chaque fois. Et par le mâle, je ne parle pas d'Adam, mais de Solo.
Eve & Adam est narré selon deux points de vue (et trois par la suite, vous comprendrez si vous avez lu le résumé VF) : celui d'Eve et celui de Solo.

Eve - Evening - a un esprit unique et original, elle adore débattre avec elle-même, et c'est quelque chose qui aurait pu me plaire. Aurait pu. Vous verrez par la suite pourquoi ça n'a pas été le cas.
Solo est un garçon que j'ai trouvé plat, bien que déterminé et bourré de revanche. Les seules choses qu'ont rythmé ma lecture sont les petits indices et mystères laissés et sous-entendant qu'un truc dans cette histoire ne tourne pas rond, et que tout n'est pas rose dans la vie de Solo, mais surtout dans celle d'Eve et de sa mère. Chaque page tournée l'a été parce que je voulais savoir ce dont il s'agissait.

La mère d'Eve, Terra ou "the cold bitch", est le personnage le plus intéressant de cette histoire. Froide et dangereuse, il est difficile de la cerner mais elle est celle qui a le plus de caractère.

Mais il n'y a pas que ces trois personnages. Il y a aussi Aislin, la BFF d'Eve. Le roman est à 60% centrée sur elle et son copain abruti et dealer. Si son histoire donnait un sens à l'histoire, j'aurais pu être d'accord avec le principe. Mais clairement, son histoire n'a aucun rapport avec le résumé, avec l'intrigue NORMALEMENT principale, et m'a semblée plus présente pour combler les choses, et couper les moments les plus intéressants, pour faire un peu de suspense dans l'intrigue principale, qu'offrir un réel apport dans l'histoire. En toute honnêteté, cette histoire m'a un peu gonflée, et c'est quand qu'on passe à autre chose? 1, 2 ... 10 pages. Allez, 10 pages, et il en restera 150 jusqu'à la fin du livre.

La présence d'Adam était bien trop courte, et il était à mes yeux le seul personnage qui vaille la peine d'être suivi.

Je n'ai pas détesté Eve & Adam. Mais je n'ai pas aimé non plus. J'en suis, en vrai, complètement indifférente, je n'ai ressenti absolument aucune émotion en lisant ce roman. Rien, nada, niente. Le néant. L'espace intersidéral.
Les romances (oui, les.) viennent bien trop vite, avec des mots - même hors dialogue - bien trop gros et importants pour un garçon ou une fille que tu connais depuis 3 jours. Ça ne me semblait pas naturel du tout.
Le dilemme "aimer malgré les fautes ô combien condamnable" était intéressant. Si seulement j'avais pu ressentir l'émotion de leurs sentiments.

L'idée de base était terriblement intéressante, mais elle a été évoquée avec légèreté, avec une impression de rédaction à la va-vite, étouffée par le hors sujet et le superficiel, et je n'ai même pas su me sentir rien qu'un tout petit peu dans l'histoire, je n'ai pas su m'attacher aux personnages, et ça en fait une réelle déception. J'aurais préféré détester plutôt que d'être indifférente à ce point.

Ce que j'ai le moins aimé : Le hors sujet, l'impression que les auteurs n'étaient pas réellement impliqués dans leur histoire.
Ce que j'ai le plus aimé : Adam.

Ein netter Jugendroman mit leichtem Sci-Fi-Einschlag

Reviewed in Germany on February 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Dies ist keine Dystopie. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie Lovelybooks darauf kommt, es als solche zu vermarkten. Weder in englischsprachigen Portalen noch auf dem Buch steht sowas drauf - zum Glück!! Denn es soll auch keine Dystopie sein und hat keinerlei Bezüge zum Genre.

Eve & Adam ist ein fantastisches Jugendbuch mit Sci-Fi Einschlag in Form der wissenschaftlichen Experimente und Errungenschaften. Das Buch spielt in unserer Zeit, es gibt zahlreiche Popkultur-Referenzen (George Clooney, Twilight usw.) und es ist unsere Gesellschaft.

In diese wurde das Unternehmen von Evening Spikers Mutter eingefügt: Ein riesiger Konzern, der sich mit der Heilung von Krankheiten - und anderen Sachen - beschäftigt.

Die Kapitel werden aus der Sicht vor allem von Eve - geschrieben von Katherine Applegate - und von Solo - geschrieben von Michael Grant - geschildert. Später kommt - wie man dem Titel entnehmen kann - noch Adam als Perspektive dazu.

Es gibt ein Prequel (als eShort) zum Buch, aber ansonsten ist es in sich abgeschlossen.

In der Leserunde haben viele Leser den Stil kritisiert - ich habe das Original gelesen und kann daran nicht viel bemängeln. Es ist flüssig und sicher nicht das schwerste Buch, aber es ist dem Jugendbuch definitiv angemessen und nicht stockend oder kindlich geschrieben. Es hat einen schönen Humor und eine flüssige Schreibweise, die viel Spaß beim Lesen macht.

Die Geschichte bietet einige Wendungen und hat interessante Aspekte. Da sie sehr kurz ist, ist sie nicht immer detailreich. Das könnte durchaus besser sein, da die Verwicklungen wirklich spannend sind und ich immer gern noch mehr über die wissenschaftliche Seite lese. Das ist auch der Abstrich, warum es keine 5 Sterne sind. Aber für die Kürze wird definitiv einiges geboten und es ist eine gute, leicht spannende, manchmal süße, manchmal verstörende Geschichte.

Ich empfehle aber das Original zu lesen, da viele den Stil der Übersetzung kritisiert haben.
