Oct 15, 2017
It's a fascinating, interesting take on videogame narrative, and unlike other interactive fiction games that take place in 3D space, Stanley Parable has the added bonus of feeling rewarding whenever you discover a new path

experiments with form, poetry and regular fiction in equal and conflicting parts (3 more)
clear changing narratives with adult, childish and animal perspectives
sad and darkly funny in equal measures
both a simple and complex approach to grief that really resonates with the reader
[Out of War] by [Sara Cameron] is the story of the Children's Movement for Peace in Columbia. It is a non fiction book written for lower readers. The high interest of the topic, especially to many ELL students, will be a help but the way the stories are told is dull and could be written better.

I read this book as part of a book club I am in. I really enjoyed the characters but I feel Crandall may have been trying to hard. The concept of a young child's whole concept of the world changing was a strong one though. I would recommend this book to people who like historic fiction.

"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.

Non-Realistic Classic
The first time I read this book, I took everything at face value. I thought anything I would be reading for an English class would be a realistic piece of literature. Boy, was I wrong. This science fiction WWII book launched my love for Kurt Vonnegut’s body of work, and I am so glad for it.

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.

Read this in one day! I loved the premise of this novel and the mystery. It is science fiction but based somewhere close to reality. The characters don't fly around in spaceships or anything like that. This was a fast read and really grabbed my attention. I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out in December!

Wonderful Story!
This book is hilarious from the first page to the last! The story of Arthur Dent and unfortunate events that lead up to him traversing the galaxy grab the reader! If you enjoy Science Fiction, humor, and a writing style akin to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, definitely give this a read.
