Neverworld Wake | Marisha Pessl
post image
Pickpick

4✨

I love how weirdly different Pessl works are. I'm always amazed with the worlds and stories she dreams up.

Neverworld Wake was no different, from the get go I was intrigued and captured by the whole idea of a space between life and death where you have to make the decision you never would want to in life.
Even the unlikable characters didn't deter me from wanting to know. And as I sit here thinking it all through, I know I'll read it again.

Enchanted_Bibliophile Phoebe Strole made this a truly amazing listen. I'm definitely adding her to my narrator love list.

I've enjoyed this one more than I did the first one. The pace is just really slow and for the best part of the book it feels like nothing is happening.... And then in the last 80 pages I couldn't put the book down. And now I have to read the next one. I NEED TO KNOW!

TheSpineView Well done! 1y
Linear I loved the original series. I thought I'd be able to get into this one because of how much I liked the original. But... I just couldn't >_ 1y
Enchanted_Bibliophile @Linear I get it. I also enjoyed the VA and am really struggling with this one. I'm hoping now that I feel I have to continue to see what happens next I'll be more invested 😉 1y

While I'm 100% in support of the message this book holds, I was not a fan. I couldn't find one single character I liked. The story dragged and I just couldn't engage with it.
If I haven't had it on audio I would definitely have DNF it.

Bk1 of #EasterOMC & #AwesomeApril #readathon is done! Wow. One of the best SciFi books I‘ve read in a long time, and I‘ve read some brilliant one lately. I love a novel with intricate world-building & this has some of the best I‘ve read. Then she peoples it with the best characters I‘ve met. Total win-win for me👍 #BookspinBingo #Doublespin bk of April #Booked2023 #WithATransorNonBinaryPerson #FourFoursIn23 #RomanceExpanse #NoShameReadathon

Andrew65 That was quick, well done 👏👏👏 2y
Lizpixie @Nessavamusic @Lauredhel I highly recommend it. It‘s my first 5⭐️read of the year and honestly, will probably move onto my Top 20 SciFi list. I really hope she writes more set in this world🤞 2y
Lizpixie @Andrew65 I thought it took way longer than I would‘ve a year ago! I‘m still struggling with brain fog and it sucks🫥 2y
Andrew65 @Lizpixie Sorry to hear that but pleased to hear you are persevering. 2y
TheAromaofBooks Sounds intriguing!! 2y

I LOVED this. Shorter chapters, so many stories, a lot of characters to keep track of, but it worked well for me and I just love how the author connected it all. Can‘t wait to discuss! #literarycrew #pantone2023 #vanillacream #fieryred @Clwojick @Librarybelle

JamieArc I had the same thoughts about it! 2y

I love it when a contemporary doesn't stick to the happily ever after! I've heard that most people loved this book up until the ending. I like it because of the ending.

This was my first go with Picoult, and I quite enjoyed her writing style. Any suggestions on what else of her I could try?

booklover3258 Nineteen Minutes, The Pact and The Tenth Circle are some of my favorites. 2y
Clwojick House Rules & Handle With Care are other 5* of mine with Mercy, Plain Truth and Spark of Light following shortly behind. The last three could definitely have trigger warnings though, so just look into it ahead of time if that could be an issue for you. She has a great way of bringing light to tough topics. I also second Nineteen Minutes, and The Pact being great reads. 2y
Enchanted_Bibliophile Thanks @booklover3258 & @Clwojick I'll add these books to my TBR. 2y

Oooh, this was just delicious! With Christie half the fun is seeing the solution neatly laid out at the end and piecing it together again backwards, and this one seemed especially well plotted so I got to relish that sense of surprise all over again as I ran back through how everything fit together.

IndoorDame And how much do I love Miss Marple for relishing the thought of the murderer hanging! Female heroes are too rarely allowed to be seen in any light that may make them look unfeeling. #Pantone2023 #VanillaCream #FabulousFebruary (edited) 2y
RaeLovesToRead I love the cover on this version! 2y
IndoorDame @RaeLovesToRead I‘m obsessed with these covers! I‘d love to have all of the Miss Marple books in these editions, but so far I only have the first 5. 2y

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 I actually rewrote this story for one of my English assessments for school many years ago. 🤣 2y
IndoorDame @Andrew65 oh, how fun! 2y
Andrew65 @IndoorDame The teacher didn‘t realise (thankfully) and in his comments described me as a budding Agatha Christie 🫣 2y
IndoorDame @Andrew65 😂😂😂 2y
Clwojick @andrew65!!!!!!!!!! 🤣🥸😎 2y
batsy I love this one too though it's been awhile since I reread it! The cover in this edition is especially nice 💕 2y
Andrew65 @Clwojick Somehow got away with that one 🥵 2y
