hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

John does a good job at making something interesting that you just don't usually devote that much time to thinking about. I found the book inspiring, as it makes me want to live in a TB free world. It also makes me so grateful for modern medicine.

I don't think that anything will live up to the first time that I read the hunger games, but I thoroughly enjoyed this and I think that it was a better entry for her series than Songbirds and Snakes.

Pride and Prejudice in Space

Alexis Lampley

DID NOT FINISH: 4%

It is literally the exact script from Pride and Prejudice and occaisionally  they mention that they are in space. When I picked up the book I thought that it was going to have the loose Pride and Prejudice plot with character archetypes and some problem in space that they needed to solve, but no. It felt like a cut and paste job and not a very good one.

Although I was disappointed by what ended up being in the box in the end, I did think that the overall message of the book was good and it made me think about the way that I use the internet.
