There is nothing better than the anticipation of reading the first line of a book. It's still a mystery and the possibilities are endless.

I appreciate that this was a well thought out zombie book with a good plot line and a very conceivable end that has some hope for the human races continued existence (which is part of what I hate about zombie genre, there just seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel) but it still personifies what arseholes humans apparently are and in an apocalyptic event we seem to have little that redeems us. Didn't hate it. Readable if you like the genre.

Reading currently, not sure yet what the fuss is all about.

Love, love, love. Do you need to know why? Read it!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book, I haven't always found it hysterically funny, but Amy's honesty feels so true that it's wonderful to read. The only thing I've struggle a little with is Amy's self deprecating humour, she's truly gorgeous looking and she needs to stop (jokingly) putting herself down.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book because Lionel Shriver is so damn clever. There is no doubt though, that the general feel of the book is that it is a constant lecture, I'm ok with that though, there's not a book that I've read by this author that hasn't made me think.

Arcadia is an interesting book, even though Bit is the main protagonist and it is written from his perspective, I felt that the character most powerful was his mother Hannah. I wonder if that was the intention? I never felt that Bit had much control over his life, even as an adult everything happened to him, it never felt that he was more than a participant. This book was a good insight into a commune life (and the potential for failure) Recommend

Loved this book. It has a very Australian urban Melbourne feel to it, which is very reminiscent of Maureen McCarthy mixed with a little Nick Earls. Being a huge reader with, I will admit, a propensity to read the back of the book, I still found myself turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next to Joe and Elise. Highly recommend.
