Demolition Love
by
Welcome to the world's only independent society of teenagers. In D-town, there are three genders-guys, femmes, and in-betweens. And there are three rules:
1. Keep your blood to yourself.
2. Agreements between gangs are binding.
3. The Dance is safe space.
The Dance, D-town's all-night dance club, blasts a techno beat 24/7. The loud music protects the street kids from the s ...more

Demolition Love was nothing short of spectacular. The world of D-Town had depth and the tribal/class system of the teenagers running their own city immediately drew me into the story. I admit I didn't see many of the twists and turns coming, I was immersed.
The characters are so well constructed that I found myself thinking about them randomly when I wasn't reading. I'm still thinking about them. Good characters stick with you and I felt a deep connection to Aiden and Lawson, as well as many of t ...more

I can't rate this. I had to DNF. It's probably just me, but I tried to get into it and just couldn't. It's about kids trying to save what's left of their little town from the government that's taken over. Or so I got from what I read. Hopefully you guys may like it. Just not for me

So intense, i can't stop turning the pages. The characters are so real that you become them, feel them and cry for them. The author does not hold back in her story, so everything is heart-wrenchingly real. Words fail. Go read the book. :)

I would just like to say this: this book is not 'revolutionary' or 'trans and non-binary inclusive'. All the author has done is take our currently accepted rigid gender binary, and expand it, minutely, into an equally rigid gender trinary. In doing this she completely misunderstands what being non-binary means, and while it made me laugh at it's sheer ridiculousness, also made me feel uncomfortable and upset. This book didn't have to be bad. If only the author had put a little more time and effo

This book has a gritty, realistic vibe to it. The teens in this book are fighters even Aidan. Although, from Aidan, I got this sense that he was more a lover then a fighter in a poetic way. Lawson on the other hand was the tough guy but in the end won the hearts of everyone.
Yet, despite my praises for this book and the two leading men, I found myself having a hard time connecting with the story for the first half to two-thirds of the way. It was like I know what I was reading and understood the ...more

I really enjoyed reading this book. I had the chance to hear the author read an excerpt from Demolition Love before it came out, and it piqued my interest. I was totally drawn into the alternate reality of the Dance. There are a lot of dystopian novels out there, but I feel like this one did a great job of building on our existing world and showing how easily totalitarian control can sneak in, and how resistance remains a daily practice. It struck me as a heartbreakingly cruel world for teens to

This was an interesting book, but in the end its a failure, I think. I get what the author wanted to do, but this trip was not worth its payoff I think.

Frankly not at all sure about this book. I don't usually read this type of thing, mostly because I'm old fashioned and tend to like realism.
I've given it only 3 at the moment because I started reading only today.
It's obviously about an imagined society; I've yet to see the point of it; probably most of the reason I seldom read fantasy.
I'll comment further when I've read a chunk.

Good plot
Hard to understand and follow with many of the made up terms. Many were not explained and there was much confusion trying to grasp those names that clouded over the plot and storyline. It was a good, frustrating read.
