The island This was a strange read, and it had a lot of star wars references - I didn't realise it was a fan fic? I am not a lover of star wars to begin with, and think this could have been a much better story without the references to it, the fact they call their book that is kinda like the bible -...

It used to be that when you turn 18 you are able to leave your house and home and are called adult.Now the Great Book states that when you turn 10, you are considered as an adult and can fend for itself.At least that's how Leia and Luc was raised to believe. And now living on an Island, learning to ...

Reseña completa en Atrapado en la lecturaNo solo la historia se basa en algo que carece de sentido en la historia (vamos, quien basaría su vida en un libro de Star Wars) si no que también empieza a mostrar ciertas fluctuaciones en el desarrollo de la misma: una sociedad literalmente a metros de dond...

The cover is ominous looking, but that’s why you want in a dystopian series. I look at it and think a shark is going to eat her….lol I picked up this book for free. This is a novella about 130 pages. I liked this book, and see the possibilities for it getting better as a series. This first bo...

This was a pleasantly fast read, being a novella written for a YA audience. I did enjoy reading it, the concept of the story is interesting and gives food for thought on the way we construct our history and concept of truth and reality, both individually and as a group. This thread is what kept me...

(received a free copy of this book from StoryCartel in exchange for an honest review) The Island (the first book in the Island Series) is a quick moving, funny, sharp novella. It is a gripping read full of questions about good, evil, and human nature.

Check out my other listens at Eargasms Audiobook ReviewsThis is a really quick read. I was intrigued from the start, Leia is the lead character and lends her POV to the narration. She is like many leads in YA books, an ordinary girl just trying to make her way in the world. She is faces with injusti...

Okay, I'm not a big fan of Star Wars. I like the movies, but I'm not a big fan and if I'd seen the resemblance in the blurb on Netgalley (which was different from the one on Goodreads) I wouldn't have requested it. But none the less... I didn't hate the book. But I can't help but wonder if this book...
