4/4.5 stars!
This was another winner from Blake Crouch in my opinion!

Logan Ramsay makes for an interesting main character.
In the beginning of the book, I felt an emotional connection to him and then again at the end.
In the middle of the book, I did not connect to him as much, but I feel like that’s the entire point in the book.

Without giving too much away, I love how Crouch shows us the benefits of DNA adaption and upgrades, but also shows how the upgrade will cause us to lose our humanness and feelings for people and memories.

When Logan gets targeted with an upgrade to his DNA composition, he becomes more conscious, hyper focused and driven in his decisions.
But with this upgrade, he also becomes less emotional about his actions, thoughts, and the important people in his life.

The pacing in Upgrade lags a bit in the middle but the ending and epilogue brings up the emotional enjoyment for me.
In fact, I was a bit emotional with how the book ends and things wrap up for Logan Ramsay.

Overall, the DNA dumping and science information was a bit much, but it does not take away from the overall plot and emotional connection that I felt for the characters.

I really love how Crouch shows us the benefits of how to save humankind and earth with this new sci-fi thriller!

Definitely get to this one if you love sci-fi themed books and ideas that look at the bigger picture when it comes to saving the world!
