eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleSo I kinda loved this book its intelligence its meta awareness and the way a lovely coming of age story is packaged inside a clever satire bordering on love story to the YA publishing world It must be said that I love satire even when it's subdued because that love colors my entire opinion of this bookAs such I’
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleI'm going to start this out with a plea that someone please tell me this book is a parody It must be Because I am a huge fan of Scott Westerfeld's writing have been for years and this book makes me want to cry It is a dual story line The main cha
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds Kindle35 stars I really enjoyed reading this Despite its 600 pages both Darcy's and Lizzie's alternating narratives flew by and I enjoyed perching on the young debut author's shoulder as she navigates the writing and publishing world The author's humorous razor sharp observations of YA culture are fascinating and feel familiar to anyone who's on Twitter attended industry events or even been present at business gatherings where there's frantic ennui and kindly condescension in the ranks though I wonder how interesting that will be to those who are
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleAfter readingIt like physically pains me to say this but I found this book disappointing Look I love love love Scott Westerfeld Like so much He's one of my favorite authors in the world and I recommend his books to people constantly I love Uglies and Midnighters and goodness gracious I adore the Leviathan books and couldn't wait to see what Scott Westerfeld would do next So naturally I was excited for this book and I was ecstatic to receive an ARC––but honestly it didn't live up to my expectations Don't get me wrong it's a fairly entertainingaddicting read and even though it's 600 pages it didn't feel too long to me And there was some potential in the idea particularly in the inclusion of Hindu mythology which I've only seen very occasionally in YA books––or in any book really––but even that wasn't fleshed out all that muchOver al
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleDarcy is a YA novelist fresh out of high school and deferring college indefinitely? because she sold her first novel to a publisher within a few weeks of sending a uery So this is clearly a work of fictionI didn’t care much for her book with the premise being a girl who can see ghosts and falls in love with a Hindu death god The passages where we see chapters from the book are dull to be honest but I can see how they would have sold big in the book market at l
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleThis is a big fascinating ambitious book and if anyone could pull something like this off you'd think it would be Westerfeld But I was really a little shocked at the things that just didn't work for me I wondered if it was just me but a uick scan of other readers shows similar reactions So back up let me explainThis is not one book it's two The odd numbered chapters are about a girl named Darcy Patel who wrote a book for NaNoWriMo National Novel Writing Month which is November if you aren't in the know actually sold it and uses her advance money to move to New York and be an author The even numbered chapters are b
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleI love this times infinity I already love YA in general and Scott Westerfeld in particular his Uglies series got me back into reading YA as an adult but this book I love the most I love that he wrote something so chancy and cheeky and META and I love that someone published it Basically I think it's brilliant and couldn't love it but I don't think everyone is going to feel that way Here's some of what I love and some of what sets this book apart if you want to know if it's for you1 I wasn't kidding about the meta Not only is this a YA book about someone writing a YA book but the YA book she's writing is also included in alternating chapters There's also a lot of discussion about the challenges of writing and publishing and marketing and selling YA some of which has alr
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds Kindle This review has also been posted on The Social PotatoI don’t know where to start with this book but I will say this Scott Westerfeld is a genius I love him to bits and pieces and this book reminds me why When I first heard he had a new book coming out I was over the moon to the point where I didn’t pay much attention to the blurb just because I believed I’d love it and love it I did This may not be his best work and the novel may seem a little fluffy but there is so much to it It has so many hidden depths that come crawling out yet at the same time it makes you laugh W
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleJust a note because I wish someone had told me before I began this book it has a lesbian romance That isn't the reason it got one star Plenty of other reasons for that Still I wish I'd known going in Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld dripped with
eBook Afterworlds eBook à é chickenshedcafe.uk é afterworlds pdf, Afterworlds KindleI had a pretty good feeling I'd enjoy this book because I've very much enjoyed every other book by Westerfeld that I've read But I didn't expect to fall head over heels in love with this book like I did From the very beginning I was totally hooked and it only got better as it went on The concept and the way it's written is SO original and I really couldn't have enjoyed it I'm a huge YA fan so when I saw where this was going I was so excited Getting to read about Darcy going through the publishing process for her debut YA novel and then actually getting to read said debut YA novel was so damn awesome Both sides of the story were absolutely excellent Getting a behind the scenes look at the publishing world was really interesting and I did very much enjoy that half of the story But I definitely enjoyed getting to read Darcy'
