The waitress was cute, spunky, and sported a head of magenta hair. She hadn’t been there last weekend. She reminded me a lot of my daughter.
That’s how the trouble began…
“The Girl with the Magenta Hair” is a science fiction story about a young woman who genetically changes her hair color which leads to a court case to determine what her “real” genetic characteristics are. This “light” genetic engineering forces the law to confront the question of who and what we are when we are able to modify our bodies. This genetic engineering technology is just over the horizon today and will have real world consequences.

This is a well-written enjoyable read. The author has a unique voice and writing style, and does not stick to any particular convention or genre. With the varying viewpoints and characters, it might be interesting to expand this story into a longer form, perhaps a full novel.
The story is detailed and works well. Good idea and good moral.
Great concept. Great story. Just slightly wordy.
The story kept me wanting to read more and was intrigued. It kept me thinking on how it would end thru all the twists and turns. It wasn’t predictable which was nice.
This is a story which has a good concept and was an easy read. It was engaging and the characters were interesting, if not fully developed. Although the time-line seemed rushed, the pace was appropriate for the exchange of legal arguments and questioning at the end. And the obvious spelling out of the moral of the story cannot be misinterpreted and has the reader contemplating past and future life choices and the consequences of those decisions.
