I'm needing a "slow" shelf. Despite a lot happening, this one felt like it was double the length. I'm torn. It's not a bad book. There is a thread of danger imminent running through the whole story, a masterful presentation of a world gone to waste in apathy, and many interesting commentaries on s...
Ugh! I don't like the cover of this book (the one showing on this page). Don't get me wrong, I like Clive Owen, and the 2006 movie is not too shabby but it does not have much to do with the original text apart from the basic premise; and Theo the protagonist of the movie is the polar opposite of the...
I was inspired to read this after watching the film, which at the time I thought was extremely powerful and underrated. It didn't have the religious aspect of the book, which put me off the latter somewhat. I actually found this quite disappointing. It's a great idea and has excellent characters, bu...
It's been made into a movie, and I haven't seen that but curiousity after seeing the ads for it made me hunt it down. It's a story about what happens when people stop having children, the reaction of the government and the reaction of people to the issue. Told from the point of view of the step-br...
Interesting book and one in which the dystopian society actually finds some sense of hope. The book is somewhat similar to the movie but the ending is completely different. The characters are likable, believable, and for a dystopia type setting you get a real sense that something like this could act...
This novel seriously freaked me out when I read it, because at the time, I didn't care so much to bring children into this world that I had then hated so much. Not only did this novel take me on a very disturbing ride of the death of humanity by way of complete sterility, was the reactions of people...
This is a good book, but the timings make reading it a somewhat strange experience. Published in the early 90s, the world has not seen a child born since 1995, while the book is written from a stanpoint of 2021. So the book is describing past events (that didn't happen) while still being set in the ...
It was ok. Think my enjoyment was severely diminished by the fact that I listened to it as an audiobook. Don't think that's something I going to try again soon.
the romance is not really convincing, the thriller part not so thrilling, the devil is not so devilish, everything feels like its missing something on the way to somewhere. also I was feeling that the author is making things easier for her by adopting both the third & first person narrative.
