I recently joined a YA Book Club at my public library and I’m really exited about the reads for June!


The theme is dystopian/Sci-fi:
Warcross by Marie Lu
Bluescreen by Dan Wells
Unplugged by Donna Freitas

I have already read and reviewed Warcross and I am about to start reading Bluescreen. Feel free to read along with me and share your reviews and thought on the books!

Not your usual Atwood story
Compared to other Atwood stories the heart goes last takes a different look on modern relationships while also addressing an odd storyline aha, not your usual dystopian fiction but does still have Atwood traits. I found it funny at times and it does stick out, I do usually recommend this book if anyone asks!

Great idea, not very well executed
I was sorely disappointed on this book. I’ve never seen the tv show either, so had nothing whatsoever to bias my views. On paper this is a fantastic idea for a dystopian future, I just felt that it wasn’t very well excecuted or, I’m ashamed to say, very well written either.

I found that I cared very little for the characters, and the plot itself seemed very plodding and boring at times. I read to the end as it was only short and I kept hoping for more, but it never delivered. Yes the ending was good, but could’ve been so more much more. I’m actually very frustrated as this is such a great idea, i love dystopian future novels and this could’ve been so much better than it is. I like Philip K Dick, but I keep imagining how differently this story could’ve been told in the hands of another author.

Tom Hiddleston could not save this movie. There's not really any clear plot, aside from the slow degradation of society within the building. The film desperately wants to be dystopian, but gives no clear reason as to why they cannot leave. It is obvious that Tom's character leaves to work somewhere as a neurosurgeon of some sort, so clearly there is some coming and going. Perhaps the book fairs better? I could not say.
