Why did I read this book?

It had a garishly bright cover which caught my eye, it was about human cloning, sounded like it had a fast-action plot, and the author tagline ("where do you want to go tomorrow") made me giggle. Looked trashy but fun.

Where's the bookmark at?

I just did my time and tried to stay alive. I guess I managed it, but sometimes my life feels like a piece of demo software, all the key or interesting features disabled, running on a fourteen-day trial period which just repeats over and over again without ever becoming mine.
