This felt more like a novel about a cult that happened to take place in a post-apocalyptic world than a post-apocalyptic novel.That was OK with me. I like science fiction and fantasy that veers toward the literary, and that is definitely what "California" has going on, using the setting as a backdro...
"Antworte gefälligst!", kläffte die Stimme aus dem Fenster. Obwohl sie vollkommen still steht, ist Steffi ganz außer Atem. Sie muss schlucken, bevor sie einen Ton herrausbringt. Darum geht's: An ihrer Schule in der schwedischen Provinz wird Steffi gemobbt. Dem Alltag entflieht die talentierte...
I received a free kindle copy of Callifornia: A Novel by Edan Lepucki published by Little, Brown & Company from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.I gave it four stars because it was a slow start. The world as they knew it was gone. Cal (aka California) & Frida are struggling day to day. They d...

Gonna be my first Did Not Finish for my blog. I gave up after only 9% Badly written in my opinion, and it seemed like it was written by a 15yr old horny teenager. Seriously, most of that 9% was them talking about having lots of sex outside. Quotes from book: "With two fingers she flicked...
Publication Date: Available now from Little Brown UK Source: Publisher review copy – thank you. The world Cal and Frida have always known is gone, and they’ve left the crumbling city of Los Angeles far behind them. They now live in a shack in the wilderness, working side-by-side to make their da...
Colbert tried, but Lepucki’s characters killed the hype train. I mean, it was exciting watching Stephen cause mayhem with Powell’s charts.
