Whoa this book was fantastic! It was so much more then I was hoping for. The story is told through a series of interviews and the subjects don't have any idea who the powerful interrogator/puppet master is that's pulling all of the strings. I loved that style of writing. It worked so well for this s...
**An ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review**Oh, and I also won an ARC copy of this through Goodreads Firstreads!! So pretty.2.5 stars.I less liked this book than I was intrigued. And even at the end (whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?), I'm only really going to...
Well, I'm going to have to expand my favorite authors list once again because Sylvain Neuvel has come into my life with the supremely compelling and well-written book entitled Sleeping Giants: Book One of the Themis Files. Guys, this book is so awesome that just by reading it on the train platform I...
It's always fun to find a science fiction book I enjoy, because I am soooo picky. This is the first in a new series, so I have quite a few questions that I imagine (or hope) will be answered in the upcoming volumes.Neuvel writes this novel as a series of interviews, recorded diary entries, and repor...
I tend to manage about one sci-fi-ish novel a year; I'd been so desperately excited for this one and was thrilled when I landed a review copy. In the end, this wasn't the oh-my-god-whaaaat?! story I'd hoped for, but it was an entertaining, light sci-fi/speculative-ish read that was quick, easy, and...
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.I have mixed feelings about this one. I couldn't get enough of this book when I first picked it up. I was hooked. I started telling people to read this book before I even finished it. I was that in love with the beginning of the story. I kep...
Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel When Rose stumbles and falls into a deep pit in the woods, she finds herself curled up in the palm of a giant metal hand, her surroundings lit by ethereal blue light. Her accident shapes the path of her entire life, and decades later, she finds herself on an elite...
A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near her home in Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth. She wakes up at the bottom of a square hole, its walls glowing with intricate carvings. But the firemen who come to save her peer down upon something even stranger: a little girl in th...
This was kind of brilliant. The formatting--setting the whole novel up as a series of interview transcripts--added a layer of mystery to what was going on, since it quickly became clear that the interviewees don't always want to explain everything that is going on and that the interviewer has a cr...
Every once in a while you read a book that makes you want to take a copy and shove it under the nose of every person you have ever met.This is one of those books.It is indeed reminiscent of World War Z (the book, not the film) in all the best ways. We have the nameless narrator, who seems to be some...
