Adjustment Day is the satirical masterpiece that we could only expect from Chuck Palahniuk-twisted, offensive, and unputdownable. It is a tale set in the not so distant future where the United States isn't so united and a new regime has taken over following the teachings of a mysterious blue-black book by a man named Talbott. Filled with his typical humor and biting sarcasm that no one is safe from, we see how a variety of people are affected by the life-changing event that is Adjustment Day. New Palahniuk fans will certainly be reeled in and cult followers will love the inside references made to his previous work. I was not disappointed!
The graphic novel version of one of my very favorite short stories Kneller's Happy Campers. I love, love love it!
Set in the floating city of Qaanaaq in a future world when most main lands are uninhabitable, this is an intriguing novel of survival, family, and revenge. Following four main characters all unknowingly connected, we see the city through their eyes. When a woman comes to Qaanaaq on a small boat with an orca and a polar bear with her, all of their lives are changed forever. A fast-paced unique story complete with criminal political factions, new technology, and people with the ability to bond with animals and control them. My only qualm was that it wasn't longer, I would love to read more about the world of Qaanaaq and it's inhabitants!
The Rending and the Nest is more than just another post apocalyptic novel- it is a meaningful story about friendship, motherhood, and the importance of having your own story. Set in a world where 95% of the population has disappeared with no rhyme or reason, small communities have been organized, such as Zion, and a sense of normalcy is returning. When the women start giving birth to inanimate objects, that normalcy is shattered. A traveler comes from a neighboring community and furthers changes the residents lives. This novel, perfect for fans of Emily St John Mandel's Station Eleven or Megan Hunter's The End We Start From, stuck with me for weeks after I finished it.
Wow! These poems are haunting and unforgettable!
This book is so compelling! It's fast- paced with short chapters that make it compulsively readable. This is definitely the next Handmaid's Tale. It is extremely timely and important. What would you say if you could only say 100 words a day?
This memoir from the vocalist of metal band Lamb of God explains the story of how he was imprisoned in Prague following the accidental death of a fan. So well written and full of voice and character!
Such an intense novel! You will root for Turtle as she realizes her abusive father is not the whole world. Fantastic writing! The last few chapters were some of the most gripping I've ever read- I could not put the book down!
You have to look at this book! I dare you not to laugh! It is so adorable!
You know the feeling you get when you read a book and it's like the author is the only one who has felt the same way you have? Well, this is that book for me. It's so compelling and made me feel deeply!
