The Reapers are the Angels is one of those books which I find extremely difficult to review because whatever I might say about it, it is never enough and it sounds banal.Right from page 1, it was clear to me that this book stands in a category of its own in respect to YA lit - but then, can it even be considered YA lit? One sure thing I can say is that this is literature.In fact, one of the traits which make this book really stand out is certainly the quality of its writing: metaphorical,Ok, I think I have calmed down enough to rate this book. I almost want to give it all the stars but (view spoiler)[ I just can't after that ending. My Temple. :( (hide spoiler)].I'm not going to give this a proper review, but I will say that this book was damn good. Damn good. I have no idea why it is shelved as YA, though. Totally *not* YA. But Temple is 15, so I guess people automatically assume that means it's YA. Temple is one of the BEST female protagonists I have EVER read. She is fucking
I had this crazy dream about zombies the other night. I cant remember a goddamn thing about it now, and the aftermath is a little fuzzy, but apparently when I woke up I was convinced that they were in the house, because I shot straight up in bed and screamed, THEYRE COMING UP THE STAIRS! My fiancé had no idea that Id been dreaming and thought that someone had broken into the house. Chaos ensued. Now before you go thinking, Oh that poor man let me tell you that this is rare for me. Like maybe
Actual Rating: 1.5 starsDNF at 90%. I stopped only one hour short of finishing the audiobook. The book just wasn't telling me anything, so I figured it was not going to be able to redeem itself in the hour that I got left and so I did't think it worth it to finish it. I am not really sure why , but I kept comparing it to The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa, maybe because I read it recently and they both are set in an post-apocalypse universe with zombies involve in the mix. The thing is that I
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.Somewhere along the way, I have decided that I love zombies. I have to admit that The Walking Dead probably has been a large part of my new found love of all things zombies. When this book came across my feed on Goodreads, I just know that I was going to have to read it. Everyone seemed to absolutely love it and I just knew that I was in for a treat. I liked this book well enough but it didn't turn out to nearly as good as I had been
Would it be a stretch to call it a Faulkner-esque zombie tale?From the start, Reapers quickly distinguishes itself in the zombie apocalypse genre. Temple, our heroine, has found herself a deserted lighthouse when she experiences the miracle of the fishes. "She left the lighthouse and went down to the beach to look at the moon pure and straight, and she stood in the shallows and let her feet sink into the sand as the patter-waves tickled her ankles. And that's when she saw it, a school of tiny
This is probably going to be the vaguest, wishy-washiest review Ive written. But I find that its imperative not to go into too much detail with this one. If youve read it or when youve read it, youll probably understand why Im reluctant to go into too much detail. This book asks a lot of questions and doesnt offer a lot of answers and thats not necessarily a bad thing. Books are supposed to make you think and this one certainly does.If you do want a crack at some answers Lisa and Catie both do a
