Hmm. This was okay. Not as awesome as some end-of-the-world books, but it still kept me interested while I listened at work.I'll certainly give book two a go, just to see what happened after ... well, that thing that happened in the last chapter.
Review originally published on my Livejournal account here.Why I Read It: It was on my list of "Shiny New Books of 2012" that I wanted to read, and I liked the cover, and The Book Smugglers largely enjoyed it.I really liked this book. It wasn't perfect, but there was so much that was so well done th...
The thing that's happening inside The Way We Fall, that right there is one of my biggest fears. Seriously, I know we don't have a cure for a lot of things that should scare me, but a virus or bacteria that we cannot conquer is what creeps the heck out of me.

The premise of the book was intriguing, but there were too many irritating things about this book for me to actually finish it. It annoyed me that, at the first signs of illness and after one death, the narr...

Well, that was a study in how not to end a novel. I feel shortchanged and frustrated - swapping one plotline for another without any resolution? Uuuugh. This was sadly a novel that didn't live up to its hype - it felt shallow, with fairly bland characters. I was mildly invested but there's a dearth ...
Bits had me bored, then moments had me terrified, but really a good deal of it had me mostly befuddled by how easily things devolved. By 'September 23’ something terrible (a couple of terrible something’s) had already taken place, yet there I was contemplating putting it down… because it was all jus...
So there is a disease spreading in a geographically isolated community, an island. The setting is perfect for an apocalyptic event. Kind of like how an abandoned summer camp is perfect for a horror movie -- all alone, set away from society. Gradually the island is cut off from the rest of the wor...

The story is told in first-person POV through Kaelyn’s eyes, in the form of journal entries to her friend L...
