Sunday afternoon, I arrived at the Seattle train station, with a book I thought would last me the two days of my quick trip. I was wrong, and I finished it on the train. What's a girl to do? Confessional: I should have frugally started the Tor.com bundle of short stories I downloaded last week (Than...
3.5 stars. This was a book I picked up for a couple of bucks in the Kindle store earlier in the week. I was immediately intrigued after taking a look at the synopsis and seeing what it was about, and who can argue with that price, right? Anyway, now that I've read it, the next thing I'm going to say...
What would you do if you knew the world was going to end in 6 months?I really enjoyed this novel. I love PA in general, and it's always nice to see a pre-Apocalyptic book. Even better is that the book has nothing at all to do with the coming smack of an asteroid, but about a guy who is trying to s...
If there was an asteroid heading for Earth, and you knew it was going to cause mass extinctions and probably kill you, how would you spend the last months of your life? Would you carry on with your duties? Are there some things still worth fighting for, even though death for almost everyone is close...
I enjoyed it a lot for the most part, both the detective fiction aspect and the Impending Annihilation by Asteroid twist added to it. Still, I felt like it got a bit choppy in the final chapters and some Big Twists weren't... really big nor were they twists. And what was the point of Fenton and McCo...
This novel's average mystery plot and functional writing are overwhelmingly redeemed by an exceptional, unforgettable premise. The first in a trilogy, The Last Policeman doesn't need to redefine the police procedural to be successful; if anything, the book could have taken an even darker turn to se...
Victoria Dahl mentioned this yesterday on twitter, I checked out the sample on Nook, started reading and I basically couldn't stop.it's a fascinating idea...very disturbing and the hero is just amazing. You root for him even as his world, literally, is ending around them.I loved it. I wish I could...
I did not give it more than three stars because, while I liked it, it did have some slow moments for me that made me put it aside for a bit. However, the book was still good enough that I did want to finish it. I just took my time with it. On the negative side, I did find the epilogue somewhat irrit...
In the world envisioned by Ben H. Winters in his novel, The Last Policeman, society barely continues to exist in response to the devastating news of a pending apocalyptic asteroid impact that will destroy all life on Earth. Canned goods and other nonperishable foods are the first to go, and that is ...
