tatyanavogt 's review for:
No Gods, No Monsters
by Cadwell Turnbull
Okay, soooooo I really like the concept of this and I think it did some pretty cool stuff towards the end, BUT... I did not enjoy the first 90%, or whatever, of the book. It felt like there where too many people, things were too random and vague and I wasn't getting as much of the monster parts as I was thinking I would.
There was some nice commentary but it was lost in the monotony of the everyday moments that we were experiencing with characters that I just did not connect with. Now I don't think the book did anything wrong per-se, I know this would be interesting for some people, but it wasn't for me and if I wasn't trying to finish the book so I could provide feedback over on netgalley.. well.. I would have DNF'd this book pretty early on.
I will admit that the ending was interesting but it just wasn't worth the rest of the book. I assume that we were supposed to be building connections with the characters while it laid the foundation so that we would be emotionally impacted by all the stuff that happened in the later half of the book but I just didn't care about anyone. I guess I wanted more from the book, and I'm assuming the writing or whatever just isn't for me. Which is a bummer. Really like the idea wish I liked the book..
