Milleen (47 KP) rated The Handmaid's Tale in Books
Nov 14, 2018
This book is infinitely better than any adaptation you can watch on TV. Atwood presents a stunning, stark creation of the world within Gilead, where women are there for one purpose; to breed. The story of one woman’s journey and the harsh reality of it gives you a sense of frustration. TV land has managed to spin another season out of this story. However, read the book and you’ll understand why I prefer it up to the bitter end.

I officially <b>adore</b> this series. It is brilliant, filled with action, drama, romance...what more could a girl ask for? I certainly couldn't anyway :D
It's been one hell of a journey from Forsaken to this one and I've loved every roller coasting minute of it, though sometimes I have to admit I wanted to bang Beck and Riley's heads together in the hopes of knocking some sense into them where the other was concerned but hey, it all worked out in the end!
I'm sad it's come to an end but happy that the end of the world was averted by this pair :P
Due to this series, I am now a big fan of the author and I'm looking forward to reading others by her including Briar Rose when it arrives in the post :D

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the entire concept and how it played by its own rules to the very end. I loved it's treatment of the "What if?" concept and the idea of branching realities. The characters were engaging and realistic. The Protagonist makes real decisions which leads to real consequences, well real within the rules of the book. The world building was very well done. I'm encouraged to look into more of Crouch's work due to this book!

Booksnthreads (19 KP) rated The Atomic City Girls in Books
Jun 5, 2018
This was an interesting read as it's a part of history that I don't often read about (i.e. the development of the atomic bomb during World War II). I liked the attempt to tell a variety character's experiences woven through a single plot, but it end up just not working for me. I felt a bit distant from all of the characters, some of which are actually unlikeable and never redeem themselves.
Original story, set between the events of 'White Night' and 'Small Favor', in which Harry, Molly and Mouse end up investigating a case (and reluctantly teaming up with 'Gentleman Johnny Marcone') that leads to a mad sorcerer living in Chicago's Undertown who has an issue with Marcone becoming a signatory of the Unseelie Accords.
Middle of the road stuff: It adds a bit more to the background of Harry's world, but is not essential.

Fantastic as usual!
Stephen King once again does not disappoint! A definite must read. This book will draw you in and you'll find yourself sitting up all night trying to reach the end. Follow a group of strangers as they try to navigate a new world after the use of cell phones devastates the planet in a completely unexpected phenomenon.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved it from beginning to end. Amira is a beautiful character who really comes into her own, and Caeden is the type of man every girl dreams of: a lover, a fighter, a protector. The world of Cashile sounds like such a beautiful place, and the imagery used to describe it makes it seem so real, I can almost touch it.
I'm definitely interested in what happens following the end of this book, and I'm keeping this author on my list to keep up with in the future. =)
5 stars!
