I‘ve read this & its sequel a few years back and ever since I‘ve been telling everyone I know to read it. Especially if they are against the now current Administration in the US. The story feels eerily current but also strangely comforting in that unsettling familiarity? Hard to explain.
Hope everyone reading for #WithTheBanned enjoys. 💌

so-soThese really are such quick reads.
Like with the first book I feel the characters lack emotional depth and they feel much too young.
But the gripping adventure/trial and the cliffhanger ending makes me want to read the next book.

so-soI deeply appreciate this book written by a Jewish author whose family survived nazi Germany. It is a ditopic philosophical novel. I did not enjoy the reading experience. 2.5 🌟
pickThis book is by the author of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and while it‘s just such a puzzle this book is also very different. Set on an island after the apocalypse a group of scientists tries to hold on to humanity and safe the world. Until there is a murder. An entertaining read that should be turned into a movie. So much scenery and settings that I could not visualize for myself and would love to see!

so-soI probably would have enjoyed this book more had I not lived through the pandemic in NYC. It took awhile for me to get into the story, especially at the beginning when the virus was running rampant and civilization began to collapse. But I can see why this book won awards. It is a bittersweet story following a diverse cast of characters—some caught in between their lives before and after, some having been too young to remember the world as it was.
