Such an interesting idea and the author uses it to progress a plot which is both fascinating from an ethical and philosophical point of view and kind of funny, too. I liked the idea of flipping traditional assumptions of attraction and what this meant in practical terms. Really interesting and well executed.

My Brilliant Demise is a light and entertaining read, despite myriad plot holes. It was unclear to me if it was intended to be a serious warding-off-an-apocalypse thriller or a comedy: the characters are all said to be brilliant, in one way or another, but they behave rather stupidly and the story veers into farce at times.
I give it a 3-star rating (rather than 1 or 2) because despite its flaws it was kind of fun and held my attention to the end. It's a decent beach-read.
I don't understand the title, My Brilliant Demise. Demise means death, and the main character doesn't die, and there are no 'brilliant' deaths. Weird.
