Victoria Green (34 KP) rated Goodreads: Book Reviews in Apps
Jun 6, 2019
I have always been using Goodreads for years and would never change the fact that it has always helped me when I needed to look up a book. Love how I can scan a paperback book, so I can see the reviews and the other books in the series and will continue to in the future.
I would always recommend this app to new authors and readers.

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Last One in Books

This book was magnificent. It's kind of like an adult Hunger Games mixed in with The Walking Dead, World War Z and The Road. No zombies, no vampires, no dystopian future but a very poignant look at human nature and dire circumstances. Although I am a bit tired of the time jumps that plague all current literature, these feel necessary and are almost a relief in cutting the tension at times. Great novel!

This is an absolutely amazing book. Melissa has a way with pulling in the reader and making them care about her characters. In this book, you following Junie as she tries to first understand why her 4 year old daughter is regressing back to toddler-hood and then she takes you on her journey of discovering hidden things from the past which impacts everyone's future. Several different story lines come together with a surprising ending.

I LOVE this.
I got it in a Goodreads giveaway, was really looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint.
A charming story about Pug's adventure, a fun plotline with great humour, and surrounded with wonderful illustrations.
Now to pass on to my 9 and 7 yr old as I know they will like the story, and could easily read it by themselves.
I'll be looking out for future books.

Be warned: ""Blade Runner, the movie"" this is not!
The novel is a lot deeper and, although there are familiar characters and situations, there's also a lot more going on in the background. What I found as being perhaps the most striking difference in the future (as in the movie) is depicted as being overcrowded and industrialised; here the earth is instead run down and decayed. Both novel and film are enjoyable; each is different.

I watched Sophie Hannah recently on Written in Blood, then I came across this book so I decided to give it a go! It took me a few chapters to really get into but once I was hooked I couldn't put it down because I was so intrigued about where the story was going. Overall I really enjoyed the read and I'll be keeping an eye out for more from this author in the future.

This, I felt, is really a movie of two parts: we have the CGI and action portions of the movie (set in the future, and largely featuring cyborgs), unfortunately tied to a somewhat lacklustre 'Young Adult' love story.
Oh, and if anybody ever wants a perfect example of 'Chekov's gun' (i.e. introduce a plot element early on that must go off later on) look no further than this: the 'Battle Ball' rollerball elements.

Rolling Stone's 493rd greatest album of all time
Very … I don't know … lo-fi? Alt-country? Folk-emo? Plaid-pop?
This album is one where the listener needs a good few listens to really appreciate I think. The songs are all quite listenable but quite understated and to my mind missing a little something (a kick, some personality). I might give this album another try in future, my dad is a fan.
