This was much better than I expected. I'm not really sure why the average rating is so low. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from a book with such a low rating. I did go into this book thinking it was a futuristic dystopian sci-fi novel. I was definitely surprised when I realized that it's se...
OVERALL IMPRESSION: This book is set in San Francisco. I just moved away from the bay area about a month ago, and San Francisco is my favorite city, so I really enjoyed seeing the references to things in the city (In-N-Out, The Embarcadero). The pacing of this book could have been a lot better. The ...
I didn't get into this book as quickly as I expected to, probably because severed limbs (which open the book) aren't really my thing. I wasn't sure I liked the main characters in the beginning quarter or so, but by the middle of the book they had started to grow on me, and by the end I found myself ...
If you know anything about me, the first thing you'll know is how much I love Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant. I read Animorphs from the second I was deemed old enough, and I absolutely ate them up. I haven't read much else by the duo, but I'm working on the Remnants series, and I liked Grant'...
3.5 StarsYou said you couldn’t go out with Tad why?” I mumble somethingAislin cups a hand to her ear. “What was that, now? You couldn’t go out with Tad because….?”“Because his name is Tad!” I yell in frustration. “How can I date a guy named Tad? It is a ridiculous name.”Evening has always ...
Pros:* It's not dystopian (but still awesome)* Genetics* San FranciscoCons:* Characters are a bit one dimensional* Science is minimally explainedI love YA, in fact it is the majority of what I read. However, this is a book I really wish had been written for an adult audience. I kept thinking back to...
1.5 stars. I really thought I would like this a lot more.It might have been a 2 or even a 3 without all of the casual misogyny and slut shaming. But damn, did that ever ruin the book for me. Don't get me wrong. That it is not all, by far, what is wrong here, but it's a good portion.Some choice excer...
I thought this book had such a cool idea. It's like... a retelling almost of the story of Adam and Eve. I feel like people will get made at me of saying that. Whatever. Anyways, it's all about how this girl, Eve/Evening/E.V., who is told to make the perfect boy. If I made a perfect boy, this would b...
This review is also on Living for the BooksThis book was strange. I'm not entirely sure what I just read but I know it involved evil scientists. That summary is very misleading. I expected more of Eve building Adam and less of Aislin drama. There's also no mention of Solo in the summary so when part...
