It does an amazing job of showcasing what it takes to be an elite athlete, while also taking a closer look at today’s hook up culture. I loved every minute of it.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Azure in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Society is perfect, or at least that is what the citizens of [Azure] are told daily. What they see and experience tells them otherwise. This futuristic novel is a modern day version of [1984]. The government wants to retain control and power so badly they are willing to sacrifice everyone. [Grant Palmquist] creates a eerie prospect of the future.

"Thoughtful apocalyptic concept"
This novel mixes an apocalyptic scenario with real life dramas from a bygone era. The various narratives are engaging and the back and forth stories knit together all the different subplots. The fact that it surrounds a troupe of performers with a past history in the arts makes for a different kind of dystopian fiction.
Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Stoner: A Novel in Books

Simple, classy, beautifully written
This subdued simple novel about a man named William Stoner is gloriously poignant and subtle to the extreme. His career as a professor, despite his humble beginnings, and his role as a father and husband is punctuated throughout with small changes and crises. It's a gorgeous piece of literature, reminiscent of American period pieces.

I remember being completely enthralled by this novel when I was in middle school. I read it in 1998, when it was first published in the USA, and I thought I was the coolest kid in school for being the first one to check it out of the school library. The first chapter had me hooked on the series.

It wasn't quite what i was expecting, being a massive fan of the musical. It's definitely not as light and fun as the musical - it's a lot darker and deeper. However I did enjoy it as a standalone novel. The twists from the original story are so clever and its much more emotional and also quite political.

A pretty good film based on a Stephen King novel. It may be a bit slow for some, but overall it is an enjoyable film about a guy who reminisces about his best summer as a young boy. A good character story which in places has similarities with Stand by me and is quite a heartwarming film.

This is yet another non-fiction spy story by Ben Macintyre that reads like a novel. This book features the double-agent that began working for the KGB, and became an agent for the UK for ideological reasons.
My favorite section was the escape section, it was completely riveting and entertaining. I can't wait for Macintyre's next book.
