Arising

I enjoyed Arising – it struck me a bit like reading a complex fairy tale. The story leans heavily into political conflict versus peace/tolerance/reconciliation, all within a fantasy world of clans that either live in treetops (the “Treedles”) or on t ...more

A romp of an almost-dystopian story, but I didn't care for it as much as Ashton's other books -- I think because I never really cared much about any of the characters. Still fun and inventive, though. ...more

Although this book was longlisted for the 2006 Man Booker Prize, I didn't like it very much. The story of her father's obsession was interesting, but there was so much more that was not. In the end, for me the book was way too long and didn't really ...more

Totally enjoyed this wonky and inventive story. I didn't get to see the movie, but I bet it's not as good as the book. There was plenty of action as well as reflection on the meaning of the self and identity. And I liked it enough to find all of Asht ...more

This book just wasn't for me. Although there's a bold disclaimer in the beginning that the author does not endorse nor wish to promote abuse, the center of the action is a TV game show that focuses on abuse. I understand the author wished to use this ...more

I admire Sue Burke. I think she's a great SciFi writer, and I loved Books 1 & 2 of this series, but Usurpation wasn't my favorite. The initial chapters could've been deleted, since the body of the story begins later on.

Also, I listened to the audio
