Here's a batch of overdue takes on some good audiobooks. I don't have the time for full-posts, so read the official blurbs if you need more information. Last time I tried one of these, I didn't do such a good job on the "Quick" part, so I'm being more strict with myself this go-around. To that end: ...
What a pleasant surprise this, my first Patrick Ness book, turned out to be. "The Rest Of Us Just Live Here" made it onto my TBR pile on the basis of a publisher's summary that pitched it as a fun YA novel looking at the people who went to the same Highschool as the kids wh...
A time that is about friendship and change. Mikey is a teenager who has OCD. He is under a lot of stress as his mom is a politician. He has one older sister Mel and a young sister. He also has one best friend Jared and a crash Henna. Typical enough? They are about a group of teenagers who live ...
Goodreads Read from November 10 to November 14. 3/5 stars This book had been on my TBR shelf for a really long time, and I decided to pick it up last week. It was also my first Patrick Ness book. It was refreshing, something a bit different than what I'm used to reading. Although the idea behind...
Growing up in a small town somewhere in America (schools, family-themed restaurant, lots of cars, a bunch of huge churches, a Wallmart, a couple of multiplexes, so many trees), Mikey and his sister Mel (don't call her Melinda) are just trying to get through their final year of high school, hoping th...
Something is going down in a little rural suburb. The "indie kids" are all over it, saving the world for the umpteenth time in their special snowflaky way; meanwhile, the regular kids are just trying to stay out of the crossfire and muddle through everyday life -- with the added anxiety of hoping th...
I wasn’t sure how this one was going to go, but I ended up really liking it. It’s quite funny, and it has a really enjoyable and diverse cast of characters. I can only judge the representation of anxiety, but at least that part was done really, really well. And if you want a fun meta take on Chosen ...
I could fill pages explaining why I think the idea for this novel is one of the most awesome seen in the last couple of years. A book with the end of the world going on and for once the main character is not the chosen one or particularly special in any other way. I myself have been walking around w...
I really loved The Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls. But Patrick Ness's new book just didn't really do it for me. It's not terrible per say but it felt a little too all over the place for me to really enjoy. Mike, his sister and their friends are wondering what's going to become of them ...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: I saw this described by a reader as "an unusual misfire by an otherwise excellent YA writer," and I think I have to agree. Premise. The premise of the book seems awesome, at first: if we lived in a world that had su...
