Nelly Garreau nellygarreau — ¡Duh, así es como Bart obtuvo su nombre!

Gizem Hız ghizem — One of my all time favorite books!

Naz Wahid nasimwahid3c00 — A condensed version of the review on my blog http://anonymeet.livejournal.com/ (which features a chart!): Once Under the Never Sky caught my attention, it held me rapt until the final page. I finished it in one day, gushed about it to friends and can’t wait for the sequel. This novel gets right many things that are often done wrong in its peer novels, keeping me hooked, even in places where similar titles have lost me. This “paradystorom,” as I’ve taken to calling it, combines a dystopian world with paranormal elements, a high fantasy-like adventure quest and a charming romance. The dystopia is one element, not the whole plot, Rossi provides pseudo-scientific explanations for the paranormal elements, the quest is compelling, and the characters actually fall for each other over the course of time. Gasp! Each of the genres represented in this book is well-handled, well-developed, purposeful, and the quest did not end up at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Thank God. While dystopian worlds can be tiresome, cardboard, difficult to visualize, and hard to believe, Rossi creates dueling societies – one living like Back to the Future Part II on steroids and one living like it’s the French and Indian War era. The entirety of the world is, for the most part, rich and nuanced and the differences between the two societies create a perfect backdrop for the Romeo & Juliet inspired love story. Though a number of the elements of these worlds appear too briefly and could be further fleshed out to achieve great world-building, the world was interesting. I find myself wanting to know more about why the societies developed as they did and what keeps them at loggerheads. Many YA leads seem to rely heavily on Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy as models. However, Under the Never Sky’s Perry rocks a Daniel-Day-Lewis-as-Hawkeye from Last of the Mohicans vibe more than any late 18th century English classics gentleman. This is a much appreciated relief! Further, Perry is not actually an asshole, in contrast to many of his peer love interests. He is always good and kind (albeit ambitious, a little ruthless and sort of a tortured soul). He does start out being a jerk to Aria, but his cultural biases lead to that initial treatment of her and he grows to respect her determination and strength as he gets to know her. Unfortunately, I struggled with occasional plot holes in Under the Never Sky. The set up for first two occasions upon which Aria and Perry meet and the reason they team up are bound by reasons thinner than the finest of gossamer wings. To the book’s credit, the adventure is so compelling and the characters are so interesting that I willingly let the Jedi mind trick hand-wave my attention away from the inexplicable elements and divert me back to the enjoyable parts of the story. Further, for some reason I can’t quite articulate, the first 50 or so pages of this book just did not grab me. Once Perry and Aria’s journey began, however, I couldn’t put the book down. I’m thrilled I received an ARC in trade and I’ve since purchased a copy for my library. I strongly encourage readers to tough it out a little longer than they ordinarily would for this. It’s so, so worth it. And Warner Bros? Please, please go ahead and make this movie.

Masooma Urva _asoomaurva — I wouldn't say I loved it so much as it scared the blue jeans off me. I highly suggest buying this book for anyone in your life who doesn't believe that human-caused global warming is something all scientists (who don't work directly for coal, petroleum, or auto interests) agree on and that there's something we can and must do about it.
