I disagree that Grant dislikes scientists. it seems she likes them quite a lot (as Kellis Amberlee is quite distinctly the road to hell paved with good intentions). it is clear that she doesn't like politics/power affecting science.
but really, I commented to say that my biggest issue with the incestuous necrophiliac twist was that it was too convenient as a plot point. it was vaguely hinted at, but we spent well over 1000 pages in these kids' heads, and neither of them acknowledges this relationship once - even in their THOUGHTS - until they have to prove Georgia is "real" when, LOL, they have to tell all their friends. it's like Grant wasn't going to go there and then went there because she couldn't come up with a better secret.
for me this took away quite a bit from my overall impression of the book. I really liked the series on the whole, but this just required my imagination to stretch a bit too far.
