by M.R. Carey
FINALLY FINISHED! Woo! I remember someone (I THINK Char's Horror Corner but might be wrong) saying this book a ghost story but not horror and not really a ghost story either. To quote Crimson Peak, It's a story with ghosts in it. And that's a really accurate way to describe this book. I found F...
I chose to read this book because I read The Girl with all the Gifts by M.R. Carey and I absolutely adored it. It was a book that stayed with me long after having read it (and I can’t wait for the movie to come out!!). But Fellside was really different, the writing was still great, something I like ...
The most fascinating thing about this book is the portrait of a secondary character, a nurse who joined the profession from a desire to help others.

Once again I am disappointed due to my own stupidity. For some reason (not reading the blurb, perhaps?), I assumed that this novel was set in the same world as The Girl with All the Gifts.

I really shouldn't have too high expectations of authors when I've loved something by them before... Even so, this book was really good, just not really something that I ever would have read.I started reading blind, without even bothering to read the description, because I absolutely loved The Girl ...
Fellside by M.R. Carey is a book that I have had trouble reviewing, but not for a lack of love. It is a story that caught me by surprise both in how badly I misjudged the cover and how thoroughly I enjoyed it. Jess is a heroin addict who sets a fire in her apartment that ends up killing a kid and di...
Have you ever heard that saying? Well that saying fits Jess Moulton, the main character and prisoner in Fellside, to a tee. It was extremely hard to like her because she continuously did one thing after another to sabotage her own self and life. To say she frustrated me is the understatement of the ...
