Five-star reviews from Readers’ Favorite:
“Youtopia… will leave you with your jaw on the floor. This is definitely an edge-of-your-seat thriller that will have you questioning what is and isn’t real… The characters are amazing, as unique as the plot, and highly believable. The twists and turns will leave you speechless… This is one of the best sci-fi books I have ever had the pleasure to read, something very different in the genre, and I can’t wait to read the next installment.” ~ Anne-Marie Reynolds
“…every moment is filled with suspense and intrigue from the start. Rein’s masterful storytelling drew me into a gripping narrative… The blend of techno-thriller elements and crime fiction kept me on the edge of my seat, and I found the concept highly original but also realistically executed to stop things from ever feeling over the top… Youtopia is a thrilling ride that challenges perceptions of identity, morality, and the boundaries of imagination, and I would certainly recommend it to techno-thriller readers everywhere.” ~ K.C. Finn
“Youtopia is a fun, exciting, and, most importantly, thought-provoking read… Author Joseph Rein uses the narrative to ask some fascinating questions about the purpose of life, the social nature of the human animal, and whether there are ethical and moral justifications and issues for this type of operation… This is a unique premise for a novel and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend this read.” ~ Grant Leishman
