The Book Frog
The Book Frog rated it 11 years ago
Every day is a struggle when your species is no longer at the top of the food chain. Fifteen year old Temple has never known an existence free of quotidian scrabbling for food, shelter, and clothing. She grew up knowing how to kill when necessary; in particular, she grew up knowing how to administ...

Plot?I suppose I should elaborate. The beginning was brilliant. Loved the imagery, really impressed. Temple's a great character. Really enjoyed the writing style. Then the zombie road trip began, and that was about it.The imagery was still wonderful, but nothing came to fruition. I get the reference...

Definitely the best book I've read in a while - this guy has a way with words.

There are some books that you can dislike the storyline - you can think that nothing makes sense, that the book is a tad weird as well difficult to get into - and yet you cannot find it in yourself to give it less than three stars. Why? Because it's just so well-crafted. Each word is chosen with pre...

I just fall for Alden Bell's writing. His way with words, his descriptions of landscapes, his morally grey characters - it just strikes a chord with me.I loved the depiction of Moses in [b:The Reapers are the Angels|8051458|The Reapers Are the Angels (Reapers, #1)|Alden Bell|http://d.gr-assets.com/b...

3.5 starsOk, first of all what the hell is up with that cover? In what world is Moses Todd supposed to look like a refugee from a paranormal romance series airing on the CW? Not in mine, that’s for sure.Alright, now that that’s off my chest we can continue. What we have here is the sequel/prequel to...

This is actually a good rating coming from me, someone who can't handle zombies. I didn't hate it! That's a good thing! I did feel that there could have been more, and that bad things that keep happening to the main character started to grate on me a little. She stays optimistic the whole time but s...

3.5 – 4 starsWell, I gotta say I didn't expect that ending._The Reapers are the Angels_ is my first foray into the très au courant genre of zombie apocalypse. It was a fortunate choice and I can only hope I enjoy other forays into the genre as much. One thing I can say is that it’s definitely a real...
