For all the trouble I've had accepting the inevitability of my own demise, It's kind of a miracle that I can read a pre-apocalyptic novel like Tumble & fall without getting sick to my stomach. Well, regarding the premise, anyway. Lots of novels have a main goal of being big-presenting expans...
Initial reaction: So, for the record: this was a huge improvement over "Tumble and Fall" in my opinion. Even with a story over such a difficult subject and the potential for connections, there were times when this book had me and other times it lost me. I think Tamsen's insecurities and feelings of ...
In Tumble & Fall we fall three characters as Persephone is circling back to earth’s orbit with its intention of wiping out the planet. NASA is sending up a nuclear rocket to blow up this asteroid in an attempt to deflect it from hitting Earth and with it being the only option left, it is risky but i...
Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts Published September 17, 2013 by Farrar, Strauss & Giroux Source: ARC from publisher in exchange of an honest review. My Thoughts I have read a few reviews lately on this book and I was surprised at the amount of people that rated it low!!!!! Personally, I thou...
DNF. This is fucking terrible. It's unreadable. I'm so behind on my ARCs and if a book is so awful I hate it in the first 15 pages, I'm quitting. It's all tell and no show. It's over-dramatic and it's totally not for me. NEXT!
Pre-read: Having read reviews for this book, I can't help but think the idea of this novel sort of reminds me of this shortlived series on ABC Family: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Moons_Over_MilfordI'm definitely reading this soon, but I'll admit I'm less excited about it as I was when it wa...
The reason I so desperately wanted Tumble & Fall is simple - the cover and, in part, the synopsis immediately made me think of Armageddon, and I freaking love that movie. Yes it's cheesy and cliched, but every time it comes on TV I watch it and get all sniffy at the end. The book itself is not like...
The asteroid Persephone is on a collision course with Earth. In roughly 7 days, the earth, as we know it, might be gone. Giant ass asteroid + Earth. Let's face it, nothing good can come of this. What might potentially happen to the earth, if it doesn't go kaboom? Well... First: water. Massive tsunam...
Whoa a book about an asteroid hitting earth but doesn't actually focus on said space rock colliding with it, but instead follows three teens in their boring angsty final days. No Thank you.
Overall this is a good story, and I love the premise of a week until the end of the world, and what these characters will do with their time. Lots of things worked really well, I liked the presence and theme of family in this one. Given there are some really dysfunctional ones between the charact...
