Ms. Nelson did a good job at drawing out the individuality of Sophie’s copies. Despite the fact that they share identical DNA and memories I never had any problems telling any of the new Sophies apart from one another. The best scenes in this book explore how each Sophie reacts to the very strange situation she has awoken into.

I would have preferred to see more time spent developing the motive of the antagonist in this piece. The reasons that were provided were never quite satisfactory for this reader due to how they are described. The omission of certain facts made it difficult for me to determine if I was encountering plot holes or if there were other explanations for why the antagonist behaves in certain ways.

The pacing in this novel was also well done. It begins with a bang and refuses to let up until the last word is wrung out from the final paragraph. I was not expecting the mystery to be so integrated into the science fiction elements of this tale, but the ways in which these genres are seamlessly blended together make it difficult to stop reading.

All of Us Were Sophie is a genre-bending thriller that I wish I could experience again for the first time. I would particularly recommend it to long-term fans of science fiction or mysteries who are interested in trying out a new genre. This book is a good introduction to either one.
