I couldn't finish the first book this author wrote, but I read the reviews for this book and thought I would give her a second chance. I did finish this book. However, I was not enthralled whatsoever. Mostly they would talk about how cold it was and would give the temperatures, the mom was and had b...
This is not the brutal story "The Panopticon" is, but then "The Sunlight Pilgrims is not as powerful either. There are similarities, as with teenagers being a focus of each novel, but 'Sunlight' does not feel rushed and the temperatures keep getting lower and lower. I would have liked to know mo...
I was expecting the next apocalyptic story, where the world slowly freezes over the period of a long and freakish winter. While this is indeed a part of the story, to me it felt in the end as the minor part. Sure, there's talk about how cold it is and people are freezing to death in the streets (app...
Jenni Fagan’s The Sunlight Pilgrims has, in all of the reviews I’ve seen so far, been billed as the latest climate fiction must-read. According to the reviews, the world as we know it is coming to an end as a new Ice Age arrives. We watch the weather get colder and colder through the eyes of a man, ...
I got this book from the Early Reads giveaway page at Library Thing, and it was such an amazing gift from the author! I enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction, and while this was set while the apocalypse was building, I enjoyed it as much or more than any of the many books I've read in the genre. Not onl...
Well, this book is disturbing. On many fronts. First, Anais would fit right in as a character in "Infinite Jest". This novel does not let up and is not for the feint of heart. This book is filled with violence and foul language; disturbed teens doing disturbing things to other disturbed teens an...
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but when I bought it, I thought "The Panopticon" was a Young Adult, Urban Fantasy, Rites of Passage book: a comfortable read, an escape from reality, an opportunity to bask in a young person's accomplishments in the face of difficult odds. So strongly did I have this ...

Doch Anais kann sich da an nichts erinnern. Jetzt ist sie auf dem Weg ins Panoptikum, eine Besserungsanstalt für ...
I’m just a girl with a shark’s heart. Ming-fucking-mong.I don’t necessarily know what that means (can anyone really trust urbandictionary nowadays?) or if I actually understood what Anais was talking about half the time but if there’s one thing I’m certain, my cuss vocabulary expanded a few pages mo...
*Worum geht's?*Mit gerade einmal fünfzehn Jahren hat Anais Hendricks mehr Straftaten zu verbuchen als so mancher Schwerverbrecher. Sie stiehlt, prügelt, nimmt eine Droge nach der anderen, ist ein böses Mädchen durch und durch. Für ihre Sozialarbeiterin, die Polizisten und die Richter ist schon lange...
