All I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea that John was going to kill him self. He was such a genuine character. But I had a feeling it was gonna happen. I have so many questions though, like what is the V.P.S? Or who was the girl that he saw. Because whoever it was that gave him no right to kill himself. Mond was full of BS the rest of the book he seemed like a robot with all of his "programmed" answers. Like about how he wanted to go to the island but didnt. All I know know is that this book is so good i want to read it a second time to understand it.

Chapter 19, 20, 21 and 22

This chapter was a little bland. Isadore knows that Pris, Roy, and Irmgard is dead and when rick comes out he confronts him. He then states that he wants to move to the city. Rick says that he could move to his apartment building. Of course he didn't want to, he was mad at him. He calls Bryant and tells him what happened. Then he went home and Iran looked scared, she tells him that someone rather a GIRL pushed or threw his goat off the roof. He knew it was Rachael.
He left that night and woke up thinking he was mercer, and thought he fused permanently with him. I think he just had a rough day, which he did. When he found out he didn't fuse with mercer he left and found a toad.
Iran told him once he came home that the toad was a machine. Who would have guessed that!!!!!!! He didn't care though which surprised me. Then he went to sleep and had coffee. In the morning Iran called for toad food and that's how the book ended. wow i didn't think the book would end like that.

Chapter 17 and 18

In chapter 17 Rick talks about the killing of the other androids. It is very interesting because everyone thinks he killed all of them. Also the question is will they ever have sex again? Even though we already know that wasn't Rachael's first time. He also threatens to kill her. He doesn't though. I wonder why. I think it could be because he is intimidated by her.

Now in chapter 18, we go back to isadore and the other androids. He starts helping pris move her stuff into his apartment. After all he did promise to shelter them. Also they find a spider,and pris hurts it. Dumb android, mercer "brings" it back to life. Then the unthinkable happens. We find out that he is not like god. He is a fake. Also buster freindly is an android but we knew that. What will happen next? I cant wait to find out.

Chapter 16

They did it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe it. RACHAEL and RICK did it that night. I just don't get it though. If he is human and she is and android then how could they?Also would that mean that Rick cheated on Iran? I think that Iran will find out and they will have a very interesting talk about it. Its a love triangle. I just don't get where they are going with this "relationship" though? Cant wait to find out.

Chapter 15

In this chapter rick and isadore are present. First it starts off with isadore talking with the last 3 androids about what they are going to do. Roy wants to kill Isadore and then hide somewhere else. The girls want to keep him around. Isadore says that he will protect them. Also he says that he will try to make their stay pleasent . AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then Rick looks to buy rabbits. But the salesperson persuades him to settle on a goat. Iran thinks its for her. But she latter finds out it is only for rick to "regain" his ego. Then he later talks to Rachael Rosen and tells her to come tonight at a sleazy hotel to do stuff. Something is bound to happen. Cant wait to find out.

Chapters 13 and 14

John Isadore is back!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In these chapters we are introduced to the two other androids, Roy and Irmgard. It was interesting to figure out who the last two were, thinking of the fact that in these chapters Pris announces herself as an android. Wait. Rewind. It all started when Isadore came to make her dinner. They started talking, and john asks if she had any friends. She said that she had 7 but the bounty hunters had gotten to work and they are all probably dead. Poor J.R didn't know what a bounty hunter was. she explained it and later said that is because they are all androids. She explained every thing. About their experience on mars, also how and why they left mars, finally they talk about all of their relationships as friends. I know I was confused after their talk was over, but I think Isadore might of understood her. ?Sweet Isadore, said that he would protect her. AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Predictions/Comments-
1. I feel that Malcolm's prediction is absolutely correct!!! One of the androids are going to betray or at least try to. There is no doubt about it.
2. Isadore and Deckard are bound to meet. I can feel it.
