RE: NAQUOYA'S BOOK REVIEWS | Soon - Lois Murphy
This would've made a perfect foreword! Maybe you could sneak this in for the second edition? Sounds like a thrilling tale! The mystery of it all is quite interesting. Definitely putting this near the top of my to-read list. What tethers Pete to Nebula though?
Glad I could do justice to the story. It truly is a great read, and even - despite what some people below have said - handled in a very original manner. If this were my debut novel I'd be very pleased with myself. If they'd like to use my review for their 2nd edition, then that would make my day - perhaps the publisher could even remember my name for when D-Day arrives and I have my debut ready to go :D
As for Pete, and also the few that remained, they found themselves in a situation where they had nowhere else to go. No other family, no government support, no financial means to pack up and move on. Their individual cases are explained in more detail throughout the book, and you see the nuts and bolts of these relationships, and these individuals themselves. They are people at the end of their lives, or the end of their patience, and willingness to save themselves.
This is a book that delves into the emotions, the lives, the scars, behind all these people - especially Pete. That's why its not just a horror, and it isn't just like all those other stories. I gave it a 4.5 for a reason - it's well written and developed thoroughly.
Oooohhhhh you're just continuing to whet my appetite, aren't you? Definitely convinced. Just because of that this has moved up even further up the rankings!
Happy to share my book addiction with you. Remember books are like drugs, and I am likely to encourage your addiction :D
Are you sure it's not a communicable disease? In any case, I don't feel like any cure is necessary.
Addiction, disease? If it doesn't hook you one way one then it'll grab you with the other.
That's how addicts talk!
