Fruit Fly by Josh  Silver
"WOW WOW WOW

This was so so so cool and epic, I actually have no words - just pure amazement. Pacing is awesome, thematically "dark" but an incredibly accessible read, so topical, so relevant (the irony in this review is actually hilarious).

10/10 would" Read more of this review »

"This is by far the best book I’ve read this year, and I think it’s landed on my list of all time favorites. Reading this was genuinely the first time I’ve ever forced myself to read slowly and take breaks from a book just because I needed to savor it" Read more of this review »

“I try to hide my hairy hobbit toes as we make our way to the beanbags.”
Josh Silver, HappyHead

“I saw a generation of young people struggling against the world and systems that they found themselves within and controlled by. The internet. School. Exams. The media. The pressure to be something, to look a certain way. To succeed at all costs. A particular notion of success was prescribed, given to them, fed to them. I saw this as a problem that was getting increasingly worse. They were suffering.”
Josh Silver, HappyHead

“Why do I always forget about the zombies?`
He shakes his head. `You should never forget about the zombies.”
Josh Silver, Traumaland
