Dana (24 KP) rated Boy Proof in Books

Mar 23, 2018

This was a really interesting novel. I normally don't read contemporary books, so I was pleasantly surprised when I picked this one up. This novel follows a girl who likes to call herself Egg, after a character in a science fiction movie that she loves. It follows her transformation from a girl who cares about nobody to a girl who genuinely enjoys being around her friends. I gave this a four star rating because there were a few parts that were slow, but all in all, it was very well written!

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex in Books

Mar 1, 2018

Fascinating stuff! Vast amounts of sheer geekery about sex, science, and the intersection thereof. If you're looking for sex tips or salacious reading, look elsewhere. If you're looking to howl with laughter without being able to explain WHY to most people, this is your book.

Okay, one might glean the occasional sex tip, but I don't think they're anything that common sense couldn't tell you. And you'll have to wait for the very last chapter for the best bit.

I'll be adding more of Roach's diverse works to my to-be-read stack soon!

This is one of my all time favourite films. I feel in love with this as a child which ignited my love of science fiction. The effects still amaze me even now and having recently purchased this on blu-ray, it still doesn't cease to amaze. The only problem with blu-ray, is that you get to see the Baron on HD. No one wants to see that!

Compared to the book, I honestly think the film is better. The book felt a bit stiff, but the film brings the story to life.

Just Because

I can not decide what I liked best about this book or what I liked least. However, it was a good young adult book for those who like science fiction with a little bit of romance mixed in.

MILA's world is turned upside down when an accident involving her falling out of the back of a truck end with her mother giving her some information that she would have never guessed. This information starts MILA on a journey to find herself and her place in this world.
