I really didn't know what to expect from this book, and even a week after finishing it I'm still not sure what I though about it. It was both disgusting and completely scary... I don't regret reading it, but I won't read it again.
I did a First Impression post on this awhile back, and after some though I've decided not to read it. I was never too keen on the paranormal romance aspect, and I really don't care for the writing. I don't have enough time to waste on a book I don't think I'll like.
This book is almost like someone decided to write a combination of my favourite genres: dysopia, Sci-fi, mystery... I absolutely loved the plot. A new favourite.
I read this virtually in one sitting since it's so short. It wasn't as good as I was expecting, but Gayle Foreman is certainly a good writer and I look forward to reading Where She Went.
After enjoying Incarceron I'm looking forward to reading this sequel. I've read the first fifty pages and I think the beginning is even better than the previous book. I just hope the plot twists hold up.
So, there you have it. None of these are absolute favourites, but Across the Universe was quite good and I have high hopes for Sapphique. Have you read any of these books? Do you want me to post a review for any of these soon?
I'd love to see a review both of 'Across the Universe' and 'If I Stay'. I love your reviews soo much, because you review it from a Christian perspective, and I haven't been able to find anyone else who does that.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't like The Body Finder? I thought it was pretty good. I'm not a fan of paranormal romance at all but I definitely wouldn't put this book in that genre. Its more of a paranormal mystery thriller with some romance thrown in. However I absolutely LOVED Across the Universe and If I Stay. Bumped was weird but overall I liked it.
