This is a very dark, disturbing yet philosophical book that will stay in your brain for a very very long time. This is the first time that I have read anything by Shusterman and after reading Unwind, I am interested to see whether his other books are as good as this.
Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite writers. He’s a brilliant children’s author, he’s an amazing adult author… The man can do it all. The amazing thing about his children’s books however, is that they can also be read by adults and they don’t feel like they’re reading a children’s book. This is what The Graveyard Book is. It’s a children’s book that adults can happily read without feeling like it should be a bedtime story for their two-year-old.
If you read my review on Broken Sky – the first book in this series – you will know how much I absolutely loved it. Darkness Follows wasn’t as good. That’s not to say that the book was bad, it didn’t suffer from the ‘middle book syndrome’ but it definitely wasn’t as good as it’s counterpart.
When I first started reading The Sunshine Time, I was quite confused about the whole setting of it and the time period. Throughout the rest of episode one, these points are not made clear. However, it is a very interesting and captivating read. …
Time travel and reincarnation? Yes, please. This is the first book that I have ever read by Lauren James and I have to say… I’m quite impressed. Even though parts of the book felt very familiar, the overall style of writing and character development captured my attention and I ended up finishing this book in a couple of days.
With the American gun laws still present, with innocents getting killed all around the world by these monstruous weapons, it’s only right that a book about a gun-wielding killer would trickle it’s way into the young adult genre.
This book is important to read. It’s important that’s it’s read by everyone. Yes, it’s a young adult book but it shows us the horrors of what happens at a school shooting, it shows us how families grieve and mourn the loss of their children who were taken away from them too early. This is a feeling that parents should never feel.
Shattered is the final book in the Slated trilogy and an epic ending to the world of the Slateds and their government.
This is a world that I don’t think I will ever forget due to its realistic nature and Terry’s way of creating a place that was truly unforgettable.
