Torn

by Robin Wasserman

I finally finished the last book in the Cold Awakening series.  I was so excited to see how the ends were all wrapped up and just what happened to each of the characters.  A futuristic reality where brains are scanned when bodies are injured beyond repair and placed into new bodies that are more sturdy and nearly unbreakable, the question arises:  Although intelligence is in the brain, where does a soul reside?  When a brain and connected memories are given a new body, does that mean a person is the same as before?  It was interesting to think about consequences, opinions, etc as I read this book.  In the end, the loose ends....well.  Let's just say it wasn't the ending I had anticipated.  Still a fun series to read, not one I'd read again.
