I am reading the book Turnabout. This book is about a group of old people and two scientists who are experimenting on the older people. The scientists have named their project turnabout because those who participate do a turnabout. Turnabout is where the old people start to reverse their age and turn young again. As each year passes they get one year younger. Dr. Reed and Dr. Johnson are the scientists. Milly and Anny Beth are the main characters in the book.

Milly has been alive 184 years now with the project turnabout. She and Anny Beth are best friends and find themselves having to move to Kentucky. Kentucky is where Milly grew up. They have to move because A.J. Hazelwood is tracking Milly. A.J. Hazelwood is a distant relative of Milly's and also a reporter. Milly can't meet her because the experiment is secret.

Anny Beth is Milly's best friend. Before the project she was married to a man named Richard. Richard died right after she was brought into the project. Anny Beth has just admitted that she needed Milly. Anny was married four times.

Mr. Johnson has just died. He took the shot to make him stay seventy-five forever more. Two minutes later he was dead. He shriveled up just like that. I would recommend this book to everyone. Turnabout is sometimes difficult to follow, but a great book.

I am still reading the book Turnabout . At first there were several old people in the project. Now all of them except Anny Beth and Milly died. Also the scientists that started the experiment died. Now the scientists are the original scientists great-great grandson and granddaughter.

A.J. Hazelwood was the reporter from which Milly was trying to hide from. When she and Any Beth moved to Kentucky they found A.J. Hazelwood. When Milly followed her to Wal-Mart. At the checkout on the board it said have a good day Ms. Hazelwood. After they found out it was her they paid her a visit. She had been tracking Milly for a long time. She had been tracking her because the date on the death certificate was different then the day she supposedly died.

Anny Beth is also A.J. Hazelwood great -great grandmother. One of Milly's great grandsons married one or Anny Beth's great granddaughters. They found this out on a computer. In the century they live in everything is so advanced. For example all they have to do is tell their stove to cook scrambled eggs and it does. On the computers they have, when you click on the Internet you can find out the size of peoples bellybuttons.

All in all this is a great book even though people die it isn't very sad. I thought is very entertaining but a little hard to follow.
