The Seed of Change

I bought the book as I knew Richard Paul Winston through some talks about his superb photography. I learnt that he also writes. The story begins with Frances, the main character noticing she is pregnant but has no recollection of it. Once the child grows up not quite as we expect it - I don't want to give away too much - it is really intruiging and I needed to know more. Interesting with meeting a journalist and then comes the point were I couldn’t put the book down. Knowing what happened to get Frances pregnant etc and then the lying ‘Foley’ … you fear for Frances and Alec. Father Donne was brilliant, he is my favourite person throughout the book. Exciting as it is, it gets even more exciting when they discover more. The ending is very unexpected and really great. I enjoyed all the twists in the book and you ask yourself always what happens next. A sort of science fiction with just normal people. That was a great plot well written and easy to read, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will lend the book to others too so they can enjoy it. I can't wwait for his next book.

Recommended to me by a friend, although this is not my normal type of book I enjoyed reading it and certainly found it thought provoking. I didn’t want to put the book down as I was drawn into the individual characters stories and wanted to find out where it would lead them. The book keeps you gripped with twists, turns and the unexpected.

I really enjoyed The Seed of Change by Richard Paul Winston. What I found particularly interesting was how the story could seem completely unbelievable at times, only to then shift into something that felt surprisingly feasible. That contrast kept me thinking about what might actually be possible. The book is full of twists and turns, right up to the very end. Just when you think you have worked out what is going to happen, the story takes another direction. I enjoyed that sense of uncertainty because it kept me wanting to read on. Overall, I thought The Seed of Change was a fascinating and thought-provoking read. If you enjoy science, mystery, unexpected twists and stories that make you question what is possible, I would definitely recommend giving it a read.

On reading this book I found it interesting and intrigning! I had not read anything which reminded me of this book. The ending was interesting and certainly some would find it a shock! A really different read and I would recommend it!

I read this book despite it not being the genre I would normally choose. The plot is well constructed and all the characters are totally believable. I thought the priest was somewhat unworldly but I found that reassuringly realistic. The book is a page-turner, with twists and turns throughout. I defy anyone to guess the end! I was desperate to finish the book but wanted the story to go on for ever. This is an amazing piece of work and undoubtedly one of the best books I have ever read. Could there be a sequel? I hope so.
