Darren Fisher (2454 KP) rated The Mother Of All Things in Books

Picked this one up on a whim. Didn't really know what I was letting myself in for but damn, this was one gripping read. For a debut novel this really is well written, great characters and more twists than a twisty thing. There is a lot of jumping around time zones so if you don't like that sort of thing then go read something else. Personally that doesn't bother me and I found Blake's narrative extremely entertaining. I worked out the 0642 pretty quickly as it was fairly obvious but the twist after came as a surprise (and answered a question that I kept asking myself throughout the book). The ending is totally gripping, a real bloodbath of a finale, and I couldn't help but chuckle to myself in the epilogue. Overall an incredible debut from Blake and I will definitely be reading the follow up book at some point in the near future.

Astounding
What an absolutely astounding accomplishment! The painstaking time and artistry on its own is stunning. Added to the thoughtful and gripping narrative, I could hardly tear my eyes away. I loved the technique of moving to black and white when the tale turned to the past. The beauty and realness of each character brought so much life to so much paint. It gives a whole new appreciation to the work of this master.

Tear jerker
Great adaptation

One of my new favourites. I loved this from start to finish. Lots of "tear jerker" moments. Loved the doomed romance story line. Everyone deserves love even if you know the risks. Beautiful romance. They won't let their illness stand in the way of their love. Risking everything to save her life as well had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see it they both survived.

I- uh... idk what to even say about this one. Wow. You're best going into it with no information, thats what I did and I'm glad. The plot twists were incredible. I did figure one of them out about halfway through but the story is phenomenal. The writing style is different than anything I've read recently, but in a great way. The depictions of emotions were gripping. Really liked this one.

Special series
When I started to watch this one, I was a bit sceptical I must say. But the second episode started to get me and after that, I was fully into it, trying to watch as many episodes in a row as possible. Very well worked story about an uneasy part of the history that actually helped saving many lives. It's gripping, it's entertaining and it's real;+)
