Julie’s Review: My feelings on Red Rising have flopped back and forth from “woa this is awesome/shocking” to “ugh so slow”. Let’s back up – this book is praised all over, and is often compared to The Hunger Games (well, all dystopia books are anyway). I didn’t really think of this as a YA, and […]
Julie’s Review: This review is in Audible.com format. What did you love best about Awoken? I really enjoyed the characters and their interactions, as well as the special abilities this group of people has in addition to dream traveling. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Learning about the Lucidites […]
Lynn’s Review: Think back to June 7, when our Chat Between the Chapters topic was sci fi. Terri from Second Run Reviews mentioned a book – Traveler. Full disclosure time: I won a copy from her blog and author Dennis W. Green. (Thanks again Terri and Dennis!) And Terri was correct. Traveler is a […]
Julie’s Review: This review is structured with the help of questions from Audible.com. What did you love best about Solace? Solace really surprised me in how deep and philosophical it got while Corina was getting to know the boy, then the man, who would become her father. A story about a girl getting a chance […]
Lynn’s Review: Katy is a teenage book-blogger (yay book bloggers!). She and her mother have moved to a small town in West Virginia from Florida. Here personal motto is: Katy’s personal motto: “Come on, Kittycat, don’t be a bystander.” Being the new girl in town, she needs to make some friends. And right next door […]
Julie’s Review: I was approached to review the audiobook specifically, so below is my review on Audible.com. What made the experience of listening to Night of the Purple Moon the most enjoyable? The narrator did a great job with the voices and her presentation of the main character. What was the most interesting aspect of […]
Julie’s Review: The Rules is a series that I can definitely see has some potential but the first book wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. The series is called Project Paper Doll, and I’m not too sure what that means, actually. From the redesigned covers, it looks like a bunch of dolls […]
Julie’s Review: Uglies is a pretty good dystopia where at age 16, everyone gets an operation to make them pretty – as opposed to the uglies they are now. I liked that the novel explored what we as people think is beauty (symmetrical faces, little body fat, etc) but also explored the truth behind the […]
Julie’s Review: I’m sad to say I was pretty underwhelmed with Under The Never Sky. I read so many glowing reviews, so my expectations were sky high on this one (pun intended). I guess you could say this novel fell into the pitfalls of hype category for me. It was very much a journey book, […]
Julie’s Review: The 5th Wave was one of those books that tries of offer a unique perspective on the human condition. I give it a very high 3.5 stars. I really liked Cassie and thought her reactions and behavior were relatable and real. She really gave a good understanding of what this type of alien […]
