| World War Z addressed the most interesting parts of zombie stories, the human element. This book wasn't about the gore, it was how people worked together (or not) to solve a common problem. This was a War where the whole world had a single enemy. Sti...more | |

| The Practice Effect had an interesting premise, but shortly after we find out what it actually is the story ended for me. I didn't connect to characters, I didn't get engaged in the plot, and I essentially was bored. Great idea, bad execution. | |

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.”
