LACOST IMPRESSES
I was thoroughly impressed by LaCost: The Evolution of Jason from start to finish. The characters are intriguing and bring the book to life. The pace is very fast and yet it is lighthearted to the point where you find yourself smiling throughout the book. I look forward to future works by Patrick Rizio.

GREAT READ
Rizio takes on expansive subject matter in this novel yet makes it accessible. GREAT JOB.

WISHING TO GO ON ONE OF SARAH’S JOURNEYS
I was intrigued by the premise of this book. It is something that I have always been interested in—the expanding of the human mind, whether the occasional genius polymath that comes along, or, in this case, well beyond.
Mr. Rizio embraces the change, starting with Jason LaCost, and then with the absolutely amazing evolution of Sarah. I enjoyed how the author brought in the technical information, but not so much to be overwhelming. He explains science terms in a way that is easier to understand for those who aren’t super-geniuses. It is my opinion that Mr. Rizio has a promising writing career, AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SECOND BOOK.

OUTSTANDING BOOK! PHENOMENAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
I am a Boeing 737 Captain for a major airline and spend a lot of time in hotels. Obviously, I’m ALWAYS looking for a great read. LaCost intrigued me. I am not disappointed! This author has brought me into the action in real time, feeling the suspense as it occurs. The character development has been phenomenal. The only problem is I never know where to stop. I’ll be looking forward to the author’s next book.

FANTASTIC READ
Maybe the best book I have ever read. Perfect!

FAST PACED AND VERY INTERESTING PREMISE
I loved the character development. I felt like the main characters were my friends, and I really cared what happened to them. This was a fast-paced, page-turner. It kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting more. The author’s premise is very intriguing. I can’t wait for his next book.
