Amiable
When She Woke: A Novel | Hillary Jordan
post image
Pickpick

Written before Roe v. Wade was overturned, this book envisions a U.S. controlled by the religious right. Women who have abortions must have their skin turned red as evidence of their “crime.” As we sat in line at the U.S.-Canadian border today, a chill went down my spine. This page describes the path that the protagonist must take to escape to freedom — directly through the town where we were. It made the horror of this world feel very real. 🥺

Amiable @TEArificbooks Ugh, it‘s all terrible because it feels like these books were a prediction rather than works of fiction. 2d
ChaoticMissAdventures I read this years ago when it first came out and it still sticks with me. Jordan did an excellent job here. 2d
TEArificbooks @Amiable they could be moved to the “current events” section of the library 2d
JenniferEgnor I read this one several years back and it was intense, very disturbing. Sadly, it feels all too real. How they would love to shame us in this way. In a way, they are I guess they are already reddening us, by letting us die. But, we won‘t need to be painted red. Our blood will stain us at their own will. (edited) 2d

When the English Fall | David Williams

This was such a good book. Beautifully written, but dark. I read the entire thing in a few hours yesterday. An apocalyptic event has turned most of the world into chaos and violence, but the Amish community lives on as normal since they don‘t rely on electricity, computers, modern conveniences. When the world runs out of food, the Amish continue to thrive, life as normal. They try to help peacefully, while staying within the rules of their Order.

Bird Box: A Novel | Josh Malerman

I adore this book! It has just the right amount of scary, found family, apocalypse, thriller to it! I could talk about this book for hours!! I love analyzing characters, relationships, basically everything. I just can‘t stop thinking about it!

Station Eleven: A novel | Emily St. John Mandel

Pickpick

I liked this well enough—it's thoughtful with interesting character studies, but not enough to get the total hype that surrounded this book upon its release. I guess my main issue was that it seemed like it was about the power of art, but not enough about that power was conveyed through the narrative, & it seemed to be about the menace of the unexpected end of the world, but not enough menace was conveyed about that. I wanted to be unsettled.

batsy It's still a pick because I enjoyed the experience of reading it and didn't want to bail, but I think because of expectations I kept waiting for something more to happen. 6d
batsy Certain bits stood out: Jeevan's mad rush felt eerily similar to our pandemic lockdown panic; Miranda's obsession with her art. Other parts felt flimsy, cryptic, or underdeveloped. Like the prophet! I wanted to know more about how he came to be that kind of person, and how Elizabeth produced a son that would be that kind of person. Also, you get the sense his reign of terror was immense, but he was dispatched with pretty easily. 6d
vivastory I agree. I liked this one, but I didn't fully get all of the hype around this #unpopularopinion I did love Mandel's Glass Hotel & plan on reading her other works 6d

batsy @vivastory I'm glad to have someone on team #unpopularopinion 🙂 Have you watched the TV series? I'm interested to see how it's been adapted. I am curious about Glass Hotel & Sea of Tranquility and do want to get to those eventually. 6d
vivastory @batsy I remember liking the adaptation, although feeling like it was a bit too long. I have also heard very good things about 6d
Ruthiella I liked the Glass Hotel of the three books best, but was also nonplussed by the hype around this book. My favorite thing about it is that it quotes an episode of Star Trek Voyager. (edited) 6d
LeahBergen I felt the same. It was an enjoyable enough read for our bookclub but it didn‘t blow me away. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6d
Lesliereadsalot Lola Quartet is excellent. Also tv series of Station Eleven is very good. @vivastory (edited) 5d
BarbaraBB I agree Suba, this was my least favorite. I think I liked The Glass Hotel best too. 5d
Aimeesue The first time I read this one, I was . . Nonplussed. I reread it after reading The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility and enjoyed it a lot more because of the resonances between them and characters popping up in different books. 5d
batsy @Ruthiella I see Glass Hotel coming up a lot so will definitely check that out. 5d
batsy @LeahBergen @BarbaraBB Glad to know that I'm not alone 😊 5d
batsy @Lesliereadsalot Looks like I'll be checking out her other books, including Lola Quartet! Thanks for the rec for the TV series; it does look good. @vivastory 5d
batsy @Aimeesue Your comment helps, so thanks! She's got a way with structure that I enjoy, so it's nice to know there's resonance between these books. 5d
Leniverse I've read the following in this order, almost back to back: Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel, The Sea Of Tranquility. I thought the first was overhyped and unrealistic, I liked the second better but it's the one I remember the least, Sea of Tranquility was really good (maybe especially because I had all the links to the other books). 4d
batsy @Leniverse That definitely helps! I appreciate seeing everyone's comments on the other books, I'm very keen to read it. 4d
