A Slice of Apocalypse

Revisado: 03-24-25

I've never encountered a story like this one, and it was incredibly enjoyable.
lots of it won't be answered for you, fair warning. but it has a profound beauty and philosophy and I liked it a great deal.

A horror-tinged romance

Revisado: 10-30-24

My second foray into Isabel Cañas, and much less horrific than The Hacienda. Still beautifully written, but definitely more about the love story than the monsters.

performed beautifully.

Absolutely Devastating and Oh, So Beautiful

Revisado: 09-21-23

I listened to the fullness of this book in the course of two days. I could not "put it down" so to speak. I physically cried at points, and laughed out loud at a few others.
I have not cared so much for the subjects of a book in such a long time.
Beth Moore's story necessitates some political commentary, but only in the later chapters, and only a couple of them. If you can't have an open mind about political things, it's not time to read this yet. How sad for you.

Thank you, Beth. This book answered prayers for me.

Excellent Story, Narration is Lacking

Revisado: 08-18-23

This is an excellent story which, as it progressed, had me on the edge of my seat and rooting for heroes and jeering villains, fully creeped out. It's imaginative and vivid, well told and decently paced. A few holes I felt, but nothing major.
The narrator makes Noemi much more disaffected and sarcastic than the writing says she is. And there are parts where each sentence is said the same way, with inflections in the same place each time, no matter what. It could get burdensome to listen to, but eventually the story was so good I just listened more carefully and reimagined Noemi et al saying things differently.
I'd love to see this re-recorded.

A gnarly and amazing adventure!

Revisado: 10-28-17

For anyone who wants something different than maybe anything ever, read translated Japanese literature. My first foray into Murakami (with any real dedication at least) and it was such a trip. It somehow allows those who love details to enjoy, and those who love open scenarios and endings to enjoy, simultaneously. Nothing is answered completely, but everything gets worked out. I don't know how, but it does. Enjoy!

Engaging

Revisado: 05-30-17

loved it! the pace of the novel is steady, never tiresome. I tend to dislike endings, however, and this was one of those times. The twists were great and the characters genuine. I really enjoyed myself!
