The Booklog of Never Letting Go
May. 9th, 2009 06:46 pmAlternately: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Booklog, The Girl With the Booklog Tattoo, St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised by Booklogs... There were so many options this time!
( 41. Laura Rider’s Masterpiece — Jane Hamilton ) I'll go with the obvious joke: this certainly isn't Jane Hamilton's masterpiece.
( 42. The Knife of Never Letting Go — Patrick Ness ) I love a lot of the elements at play—space westerns! Man—but not how they hang together in this narrative.
( 43. The Myriad — R.M. Meluch ) New space opera series to devour FTW!
( 44. Wastelands — Ed. by John Joseph Adams ) this is one of the rare anthologies I’d eagerly recommend.
( 45. Little Bee — Chris Cleave ) Draw your own conclusions.
( 46. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie — Alan Bradley ) I never felt involved or like any part of the story was real or mattered.
( 47. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo — Stieg Larsson ) a novel—and a thriller, no less!—in which the women not only rescue themselves, they rescue the men.
( 48. Wolf Star — R.M. Meluch ) These are like the Chewy Chips Ahoy! of reading material—obviously really not very good on a fundamental level, and yet once you start eating, you just cannot stop stuffing your cake hole with the little bastards.
( 49. St. Lucy’s Home For Girls Raised By Wolves — Karen Russell ) I’d recommend reading one of Richter’s collections—or even one of Link’s or Bender’s—instead.
( 50. Little Brother — Cory Doctorow ) If 1984 bugged you because it felt too hopeless, here’s a alternative that’s no less frightening, but which is all about not giving up and fighting back.
Total Reviews: 50/92
