I can't write books so I review them instead
I will be honest here: I chose to read the novel because of its cover. It looked so interesting and beautiful and I just had to give it a shot. Now, I know I didn’t like Annihilation by this same author… but when has that ever stopped me from giving a book a shot? So here…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I read The Hatching, which is the prequel to this novel, it made me terrified of spiders. It was an amazingly freaky novel that had so many elements that worked so wonderfully and I just loved every minute of…
My friend lent me this book a while back and I’ve been quite lazy about getting to it. Mostly because we go to different universities so I only have to return it to her when she gets back home. Well, she’s back now and it’s high time I finish this novel. I literally picked it…
I don’t have many friends who are avid readers like me. But when they recommend something for me to read, I do my best to give it a shot. Especially if they let me borrow their copy of the book, thereby saving me the trouble of waiting for it at the library. Which is exactly…
I finally got to read the last book in the trilogy!!!!! I literally finished it in 2 hours because I just HAD to find out how everything ended! Hopefully I don’t ruin anything in this review for those who haven’t read it yet! The book opens up with Thomas in isolation from everyone else because…
I actually had the chance to reread the book AND watch the movie before my exams but I wasn’t able to write my review until now. Without further ado, here it is: This is a post-apocalypse novel that focuses on Thomas, a boy who finds himself in a place known as The Glade with a…
When I heard the movie was coming out, I immediately rushed to the library to reread this book so that I could compare the book to the movie. Reading the book reminded me of how much I loved it. This was probably the first book I read on a dystopian(ish) society and it made a…
I actually had the audio book for this story and I feel like that may have affected my perception of it a little but I don’t think it made too much of a big impact so it should be okay. This book is about a fireman named Guy Montag who lives in a society where…
I actually read this book a while back but I wanted to watch the movie before I wrote about it in this blog. This book is about a world ruled by factions: Abnegation (selflessness), Candor (truth), Amity (peacefulness), Erudite (intellect), and Dauntless (bravery). Beatrice Prior has been raised all her life as Abnegation but has…
I first saw this book when it was up for the White Pine fiction award, which is an award where students vote for the best book. I picked it up, read a couple pages, and immediately put it away. Now, that’s unusual of me but the reason I did so is because I absolutely cannot…
