The Last Murder at the End of the World: The dazzling original new high concept murder mystery from the author of the much loved, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle | Stuart Turton

This was a fun read, partly 'cause I finished it all in one day and didn't stop to think about any gaps. The solution seemed pretty obvious, but the constraints made the process a bit more interesting.

It feels wrong to say that I loved how disturbing this book was… but I did!! So twisty and mind bendy that it was a delicious read that will have you reading past your bedtime!

After reading the other books in the series, I should have known exactly how this was going to go. All the characters were shallow. Tally again was stuck up and full of herself, can't even stop for a second for anyone but herself. At least this one had a mystery going on to keep my interest a little. 2.5/5

The Giver (Essential Modern Classics) | Lois Lowry

I never heard about this book or movie. Sci-fi, and especially Dystopian stories, rarely interest me.

We had an opportunity to watch the movie this week...and I wasn't surprised to learn that the book has faced bans.

Is this what Little t and his administration aspires to transform Our America into?

This movie is both beautiful and horrifying.

AnnCrystal It centers on a world without love, empathy, independence, music, color, faith, hope, nor anything that causes feeling or stirs your senses.

Jonas is chosen to become the next Receiver of Memory. Each day he receive the history of humanity from the Giver in an exclusive library at the very edge of the community.

AnnCrystal Jonas quickly learns that in order to learn history, he must experience empathy. But Jonas was born to be more than just the next Receiver of Memory, and the Giver has been waiting for him.

AnnCrystal In my opinion, this story is only an issue for those seeking to oppress democracy.

AnnCrystal @dabbe 🆒👏🏼🤩✊🏼📚💝. This story definitely needs to be taught to students, it is a powerful masterpiece. 4d

Amiable A world without love, empathy, independence, hope, compassion or history is exactly where we are headed. 😖 4d

TieDyeDude I highly recommend the book. It has been a constant re-read for me since middle school. The movie was an admirable attempt (Jeff Bridges wanted for years to make it with his dad Lloyd, but it didn't come to pass, and he made it with some concessions during the YA dystopia craze), but the book is on a whole other level, IMO. The graphic novel was also well done. 4d

AnnCrystal Truth 🫂 @Amiable 😢 oh gosh, that's exactly what my mom and I just talking about. We really need to encourage empathy, teach it in any way we can ✊🏼🦅✌🏼💝. 3d

AnnCrystal Thank You @TieDyeDude 👏🏼🤩 there's even a graphic novel! Where have I been...thanks, I will be sure to keep a lookout for these book versions.

It would have been a lovely father and son duo film if Jeff Bridges would have been able to convince this film to be made sooner 🎬💫.

This is a treasure...that feels like a terrifying warning 🤔✊🏼🌞📚🎬💫. 3d

This book has to be the worst in the series. I couldn't stand Tally. I understand the book was supposed to be about what they made her, but she was so annoying. Just me me me all the time while making the stupidest decisions even tho she was "better" than everyone else. She was also supposed to have a redemption arc, but she really didn't? The romance also went nowhere and just seemed dumb to add in at all. 1/5

so-so

If I hear the word bubbly or bogus ever again, it will be too soon. Holy cow, I swear both of those words appeared at least once every page, sometimes more than that. I enjoyed this book a little less than the first. I think it is following the same mold for every distopian. The same thing keeps happening to make her into the next thing as well, which is getting old. The writing is still not great. 3/5
