Terri Wiltshire (21 KP) rated Brave New World in Books
Sep 1, 2019
Well developed flawed protagonists who really come alive. (3 more)
Scarily believable future scape.
Feels like a warning without being preachy
Fantastically poignant ending
Ahead of his time. A must for sci fi fans
If you like science fiction read this. This is part of our history, part of the beginning. So much other great literature sprang from and was inspired by this novel.
Detailed believable culture and characters that despite living in the dystopian world created by Huxley are relatable and real. Flawed humans trying to find meaning to their existence.
No spoilers...just read it.

A gripping read
Oh my! I wasn't expecting to be pulled into this thrilling book quite as much as I was. Maggie Jenkins is likeable and relatable. I love how strong she is even when her vulnerabilities show. It's also great to have this genre of book led by a woman, a well written one at that.
The Wayward Target is so much more than I expected and I'm so pleased! It's definitely one to recommend to friends and family and if you have a book group add it to the list. If not start a book group with it!

*fans self*
Holy fluff balls! This is hot, fun.....did I say hot?
I definitely have a soft spot for these well written, relatable characters. Having the NFL background is a definite selling point because who doesn't like a fit bloke playing a contact sport?
The Star is a yummy read that's perfect for the hot summer days, lazing in the sun and having a nice, tall drink to hand....... quench your thirst and cool you down from this cheeky story!
I recommend this as an adult read, for obvious reasons (read the blurb beforehand and you'll understand!)

This was so good! I still can't believe who the killer turned out to be, it was truly unexpected, which is what makes a good thriller. And the fact that she went so far to get what she wants only to not get it at all, that just goes to show you that some people really don't deserve happiness. I loved the character of Nora because she was so relatable and likable, some of the insecurities and doubts that she had I've experienced at one time myself. I'm glad the truth came out in the end and I would read another book by this author in a heartbeat!!
Jennifer Daniell (108 KP) rated Eden (The Eden Trilogy, #1) in Books

I loved this book. LOVED. One of my top reads in the past couple years for sure. I received it for free after winning a Goodreads giveaway. I don't want to give anything away so I will be general in my review. The concept/plot are unique but believable. The characters were really well rounded and relatable. You are immediately sucked in to their world. This was so much better than a lot of the dystopian books that are being pumped out right now. I love that it could stand alone as well as being the first installment of a trilogy. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Something a bit different!
A real laugh out loud read! One of those "it's funny because it's true!"
I think that most mum's can relate to most of this book and can appreciate the sarcasm and fun behind the main character.
Would recommend for any parent or soon to be parent, I don't have children but I still found this highly amusing and relatable!
Warning - do not read or listen to when you are in public by yourself and you will look like a crazy person when you randomly burst into fits of laugher! Also don't recommend reading while drinking tea... unless you want it to come out of your nose!
