The Set Up (Medusa Project #1)
First read in about 2010. Re reading.
Mild spoilers//I had high expectations for this book when I first picked it up, the blurb seemed interesting enough. My sister had reccommend it to me before so I gave it go. I was disappointed to find that it was entirely predictable. There was no mystery to who the fourth child with the medusa gene was, it was so obvious that I originally assumed it was a red herring. I found the characters to be unrealistic at times, the tension between Ed and Nico over Ketty seemed forced. Nico was obsessed
This book was recommended to me by my 14 year old sister, Chelsey, and I found it an easy and relatively enjoyable read. I started and finished it within just a few hours.The story is good, typical of young-adult science-fiction really. I enjoyed it but it wasn't unlike a million other books in this genre. Though I did expect a younger writing style, I didn't realise just how young an audience this book was aimed at; my typical young adult books tend to be somewhere in the 16-25 year old
This is a great book. It consists of a really intriguing story line which makes you want to read more and more. The author kept you interested by adding new pieces of information to the story as well as having strong and unique characters. Towards the end of the book a lot of suspense is built up when the characters face some hard choices. Overall I highly recommend this book and I cant wait to read the series!
this book was hilarious! it probably would have been boring with out nico. god he is a BRILLIANT character. Just like most of Sophie McKenzie's books this one was addicting. read it in about 2 days. its good if you want a short read or want to get out of a reading fad.so the story is about Nico he is also the main character, and we fallow what happens when he discovers he has the Medusa gene. The Medusa gene is a gene that is implanted in a child before its born, and when it reaches about 13-14
I really enjoyed this book, it has been one of the best I have read for a long time. The characters are really gripping and the way the book is written makes you want read more and find out what happens. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone that needs some more adventure in their reading!

Commentary To Books The Set Up (Medusa Project #1)
Thirteen years ago, Professor William Fox discovered DR6124 - a gene for psychic abilities. By synthesising it, he managed to implant it in a series of embryos, knowing that the gene would be kick-started at puberty. But Fox was killed by his business partner, Jack Linden, before he saw his experiment come to fruition. Jack has big plans for the kids with the psychic gene - IF he can track them down… though Fox's brother, Fergus, is determined to stop him and keep the kids safe: Nico - telekinetic and cocky with it; Ketty - clairvoyant and terrified she's seen her brother's murder; Dylan - a mind-reader with morals; and Alicia - able to withstand physical pain through the power of her mind. Can Fergus keep them - and his brother's experiment - a secret?Mention Epithetical Books The Set Up (Medusa Project #1)
