I really wasn't sure what I was going to make of this one. The back makes grandiose claims like "The next Hunger Games." ...really? That's brave. But I have to admit, the plot is pretty gripping, right from the start. It's not a total psychological thrill-ride like The Hunger Games--not even close--...
I have very mixed feelings regarding Amy Kathleen Ryan's Glow. On one hand, it does have a very interesting premise. Interesting enough that I wanted to keep reading and see what would happen next... even though I often found it thoroughly creepy and I didn't particularly like any of the characters....
Today I thought I’d write a review for Glow. Both from the cover and the genre of this book I thought it would be painfully like Across the Universe, which I did not like, and so I was incredibly apprehensive about reading this at first. In fact I didn’t even bother to check out the description, so ...
What. I have no idea when YA fiction became the breeding ground for spouting religious ideals and procreation but I'm sick of it already.This book really talks down to it's reader. It's aimed at young adults, but written like it's for preteens. Like we're too stupid to understand deeper personal mot...
See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten!Another sci-fi book. For some reason, I keep picking them up despite my apathy for the genre. Perhaps I was hoping Glow would be the one to really impress me and make me like sci-fi. (Or maybe I was reading it solely because an ARC of its sequel was coming. Ye...

Reading and listening to Glow was an amazing experience. I was swept up in this story about people on a long term space voyage to New Earth and couldn't help but be engaged in the story. This is the first long audiobook that I have ever listened to. I was reading along in a print copy of the book an...
Kieran and Waverly are in love. Everyone assumes they’ll get married. Even Waverly knows it will happen eventually, but still feels unsure as to whether or not she is ready. As two of the oldest kids on the Empyrean, it is up to them to set an example for the others. It is important for every person...
When it comes to sci-fi books, you got to really grab me. What I loved about this book are the characters growth and coming to understand things.The characters of this book go through a lot. Separated from what they only know and desperate to get back to each other, Glow had me happy at watching tee...
