bailed

This might be a wonderful book, but the audio is crap. The reader uses a monotone which doesn‘t even vary for characters speaking. I made it just over halfway through before I‘d had enough.

Good dystopian book and I‘m curious about book #2. Lots of connections, innuendos, and main characters were believable and engaging. Good twists and turns, some felt overdone. Overall, good quick read.

I am all for dystopian, even in times like these, but I‘m not even sure if this book is dystopian or post apocalyptic- in fact I didn‘t get it at all.
Two sisters, a horse, left by themselves. But why and what happened and what‘s going on?
Beautiful dialogue between the sisters but again I am clueless about the world they‘re living in. If they‘re still alive. There‘ll be a sequel but not for me.

Chelsea.Poole Too bad about the book, but lovely location otherwise! 3w

ChaoticMissAdventures I always feel resentful of a book I take on a trip if it isn't great. Why am I dragging this not amazing book around! Sorry this didn't work for you. 3w

LeahBergen At least your surroundings are lovely! 😍 3w

Cathythoughts Great pic . But , Oh no 😟, it‘s in the post for me. Arriving any day. I‘ll have low expectations, that might help … 3w

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes @Cathythoughts If you enjoyed her books so far you probably will now too. There are raving reviews. I didn‘t finish the season series either. Like @squirrelbrain and @ChaoticMissAdventures Ali Smith is a hit or miss for me. Mostly a miss although I liked her earlier work. 3w

sarahbarnes She‘s definitely one of my favorite writers, but I know she can be hit or miss for some people. 2w

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I am here with a friend who has been reading it too and we‘ve been discussing it a lot and in hindsight I think I should have at least rated it a so-so 2w

TrishB She‘s always a miss for me- I‘ve given up now. 2w

Suet624 Oh, that‘s too bad that the book is meh. 6d

Almost DNF but I stuck it out!

RamsFan1963 This sounded interesting, but I've seen almost no positive reviews, so I guess I'll pass. 3w

I saw this framed photo while I was travelling recently and thought immediately of the horse in Gliff.

Two children are left by themselves in a house with no furniture and enough hermetic for some days. Their mum‘s boyfriend promises to return. As the days go by he only doesn‘t return, but as readers we realize that the world Smith has created is a little different from ours, and her world scars me. I hope we never end up living in that world.

I can‘t wait to read the second book in this duology when it‘s published in May
