There is no doubt that this book is tense and a cracking read. (2 more)
One to get you thinking for sure, maybe even unnerving!
Superbly written.
Set in an Authoritarian future, where everybody has a designated role in life - aversion to the state is punishable by death

It was ok, far from great or that original to be honest. Felt it could have been a lot better. In the end just ends up very similar to other future set films with a big social class divide. Does have some cool Dodge Charger cars though.

I enjoyed this. it was a fun read with a great cast of characters and I loved the relationship between Belle and Rome.

P.S I can't help wondering if Belle is the woman Lexis saw n Rome's future?

Looking forward to the next book in the series!
  

"Troubling and humorous, this is one of my current give-it-to-everyone books – I buy six copies at a time. Did you know our future belongs to a few asocial geeks for whom being human has always been a problem? Now they can solve it!"

Sadly, this was the final season of Arrow. I have been a huge Arrow fan for years, but I have to admit this season was a little odd, but I like how they left the door open for a spinoff and for future visits from the Arrow.

I don't like a lot of the things Calloway thinks. There are moments when I want to punch his sexist face, but I'm hoping there's improvement in future books; as mad as Cal has made me, I'm interested in reading more about him and Rome.

Do you LOVE learning about the world around you? Well, then I have the book for you. The Future of Buildings, Transportation, and Power by Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber was so interesting to read. I enjoyed the chapter layouts and how each subject flowed neatly into the next; plus, I liked how at the end of each chapter they did a little summary. Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber’s explanation of things like the future of AI and graphene (a new building material) were some of my favorites to learn about; although there were many more I enjoyed reading about as well
