Sheridan (209 KP) rated The Book of Eli (2010) in Movies

An Interesting Film
I really enjoyed this film, in was interesting and in depth. Eli travels west, protecting something very valuable. A dystopian future in which humanity is not painted in the best light, but intricately shows the power of one simple book, a text that's message was lost in the old world. A great movie, would definitely watch again.

Great read. Well written with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This is not your typical romance or dystopian story. I loved that there is Opal's POV and Aecker's POV. You can understand the characters a bit more when it's like that. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

Will she, won’t she, who cares
I’ve read a lot of dystopian society and this one didn’t do it for me. Granted, I read it a while ago, but it’s always stuck with me as a flop for the genre. The world isn’t compelling and the main conflict is which boy do I want to be with: mystery or certainty.

I sat through it.
It's hard to nail down what was wrong. I actually liked the casting. And dystopian future movies are right up my alley. But i just didn't enjoy this one. I want to watch it again to try to figure out where it lost me. But i am not looking forward to that... So stay tuned?

My absolute favourite series at the moment! Despite the dystopian setting it is scary how real the problems portrayed can seem and how possible the world feels! This is the only time I will probably ever say this but I much prefer the TV series than the book, not to say it’s a bad book, but that the show is that’s good!

Questions, questions. Where's Evan? What happened to the camp? Ben and Cassie? Cassie and Evan? Will anyone get their real name back? Where are they going?
A gripping read with a scifi and dystopian feel. I had no idea cover to cover who to trust, who were good guys and bad guys. So much potential going into the next book.

Classic dystopian novel about the US and if the Germans had won the war
Philip K. Dick is the godfather of Science Fiction, especially creating alternative realities and dystopian futures. In this case, he puts the point what would the world look like if Hitler had won the Second World War?
In this version, citizens of Jewish origin begin to be hunted down alongside those with ethnic minorities, except for the Japanese, given their support during the war. Amid this turmoil, is a mysterious and controversial book floating around, that explains what America would look like if they had won.
This is a bit of mind trip as a result, and it does end rather abruptly. However, the writing is gripping and you're desperate to find out how the man in the high castle connects to the story.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Breathe (Breathe, #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Breathe] by [Sarah Crossan] was a dystopian novel where the government manipulated people to remain in power. The earth's atmosphere has been depleted so badly that the air can not sustain life. Or, that is what people believe. [Crossan] creates a world full of lies and intrigue but characters that are heroic and keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen.
