I don’t know how it came to be that I have now read 2 Zombie books in a row - the whole shuffling zombie thing does nothing for me. Perhaps it is that these books - firstly, Raising Stony Mayhall and then this one, The Girl With All The Gifts are about zombies that have retained their humanity and t...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** The Girl With All the Gifts is not really literature, it's more...consumable than that, so I'm not going to labor over this post. That means: a list of grievances! It was entertaining. It got me through two plane flights. I liked the all...
The original "girl with all the gifts" was Pandora, who opened a box that released evil, plague, sorrow, and all the other bad things into the world. In M.R. Carey's The Girl with All the Gifts, the eponymous girl is Melanie. Ten year old Melanie has a genius level intelligence. She's conscientious,...
Sometimes a story is such a wonderful journey you forget to look deeper than just your pleasurable experience. You don't look at the crucial message beyond the surface words, because you are to busy being carried along with the fantastic stream of words that makes a book. The Girl With All The Gifts...
Hi friends, here's a tossed off review but if I don't get it out now it will be gone forever.. Sorry I am so behind and can't really think straight. I listened to this as an unabridged audiobook loaned out via Overdrive and read by Flinty Williams who has the most lovely, lilting English accent. I...
Fantastic! Wonderfully written and structured. Super impressed with M.R. Carey's prose. This makes up for all the terrible dystopian books I've endured recently. I won't spoil it by telling you any of the basics, but trust me - if you like chills and thrills, you will like.
I finished "The Girl With All The Gifts" today, with that mixture of regret and deep satisfaction that only comes from reading a book that is so masterfully crafted that you don't notice how it works because you're too tied up in the emotions, the action, your deepening understanding of the people ...
Melanie is a high functioning "Hungry" who is really a brilliant child trying her best in school and trying to be a good girl in the eyes of her favorite teacher. When "Junkers" attack, she finds herself outside her protected environment and out into a world that she has never experienced "for real"...
I went into this book knowing only that it was being categorized as horror and that it had great reviews. My ignorance to the plot greatly enhanced my enjoyment of The Girl with All the Gifts. It makes writing a review all the more difficult, though. I enjoyed it so, so much, but I can't bring mysel...
The Girl With All the Gifts M.R. Carey, 2014 Melanie is a very special girl. She’s incredibly smart, and she loves going to class, especially the classes taught by Miss Justineau. But Melanie and the other children aren’t like the adults that surround them. The children are infected with the par...
