Als Moira Young gefragt wurde, wie ihr Traumberuf aussähe, wäre sie keine Autorin, antwortete sie sehr präzise. Sie besäße ein altmodisches, nichtkommerzielles Kino in einer kleinen Küstenstadt. Es gäbe gemütliche Plüschsessel, schwere rote Samtvorhänge, Popcorn mit echter Butter und einen Projektor...
Blood Red Road was an amazing book & it's going on my favorites list! The characters, the language & writing style and the world building were just incredible and they all came together perfectly to create this brilliant and very atmospheric story. It was really, very nicely done. Definitely top-tie...
I remember holding this book in my hands when it first came out years ago. I remember how I thought that it sounded interesting but that it did not catch my interest enough for me to buy it. Now years later, when I saw the audiobook at my local library I had to get it. Blood Red Road is about a yo...
Wow.Great premise. With probably the worst execution possible.The writing style reminds me of the Chaos Walking trilogy, but it's almost an insult to Patrick Ness, because while the two styles share similarities in misspelled words, lots of dialect, etc., Moira Young's writing is just . . . really p...
It took me a little bit to get used to the format of narration. A friend compared it to Beverly Hillbillies, and I agree. It works for this book and the main character. Makes me think I should re-try some DNFed books for this reason. Maybe if I read more I might get into it. The world-building was ...
The irony in me reading this right after The Knife of Never Letting Go (KNLG) was so I would have a break between Patrick Ness books (see tomorrow). But this book has a lot in common with KNLG in that they are both YA Dystopias with lying adults and a stream of consciousness narrator who has terribl...
OK Jordyn...breathe... If you know me I do NOT give a lot of five stars. I'm not one of those people who just hand out five stars to every book I 'liked'. A book has to be pretty fucking amazing to receive five stars from me, let alone go onto my favorites shelf. To get onto my favorites sh...
Blood Red RoadMoira YoungReleased: 7th June, 2011 Book Summary: Saba has spent her whole life in Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms. The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. That's fine by her, as...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: the minimalist dialect is not enough to make this derivative, trope-heavy, overly-cinematic hero's journey into something original or complex. Back up a second. My summary sounds harsh--too harsh for a debut that ho...
Blood Red Road is a dystopian novel about a girl named Saba who is trying to rescue her brother Lugh after he is kidnapped and her father murdered. While it is an interesting story, with a very good first half of a book, the second half does lag a bit especially towards the end which wasn't all that...
