Ive wanted to read this book for ages, so I was thrilled when I found out I had won a copy of The Weepers: The Other Life through a recent contest I had entered on the authors website. The author, Susanne Winnacker, was kind enough to personalize and autograph my copy for me. So Im pretty stoked about that as well. I first spotted The Other Life here on Goodreads first reads giveaways last December. The very first thing that caught my attention with this book was the bright red butterfly on theI rather wish I'd waited to read The Other Life until the second book was out. Or maybe I wish so many books weren't stretched out into a series. This novel just felt a bit insubstantial to me since it's fairly short and the contents could definitely have been a bit meatier. The promise of it is there, but just as things begin to get interesting, the story ends and you'll have to wait a year or so for the next one.I'm a big fan of post-apocalyptic books and survivalist scenarios, and the premise
books like this make me appreciate authors like laini taylor so so much.part of me is concerned that maybe i am being unfair. the book is on scholastic, which makes me think it might be intended for a younger-than-teen audience, in which case, it is probably awesome. but for a contemporary YA audience, or (ahem) someone much much older, it just wasn't enough.the premise is great - after a rabies-like disease overtakes LA, sherry and her family take shelter in their bunker at the urging of the
Well really this has all the things that I should love about a book. *Dystopian setting.*Zombies (who technically aren't zombies, but whatever, they are.)*A potential kick ass female protagonist.But it only managed two stars, and here are three reasons why.1. I wanted more from the world. Granted it got there a little bit towards the end, but overall there are too many questions for me. Why did the powers that be allow the radio's to work for 3 years? Only cutting them off 2 weeks previous to
sounds like resident evil, and that's good,'cause I loooved Resident Evil.Can't wait for this.......Nice cover! love the bloody butterfly!
2.5 stars. The Other Life had an interesting premise; people forced to go 'underground' due to an outbreak of the rabies virus. I enjoyed how the main character, Sherry, used numbers to show how long it had been since she'd seen the ocean, eaten chocolate, etc. Instead of 3 months, she would use 90 days, or ____ number of minutes. I thought it was fun.The first 2/3 of the book was slow and I kept stopping because of words that, in my mind, were misspelled. It bugged the crap out of me. However,
I swear I didnt mean to do it.I was just going to open the packageI swear. Not read the books. I just started another book. ButI found myself running my hands over the cover, flipping the pages, yesokay smelling them too perhaps, opening to the first page, reading the first chapter, and BAM!The next thing I knew it was 2 a.m. and I only had one more chapter to go! When I say this book pulled me init PULLED! The only time I moved was when my butt went numb and I jumped from the floor to the
