Finished War of the Worlds (it's really not that long) and now moving on to this, an examination of life in one of the worst slums in Victorian London. Only started and already it's harrowing. One line, I had to re-read, says "while the children played around the coffin of their recently deceased father". This is IN THE HOUSE THEY LIVE IN. Also, found out that the scumbag landlords who managed many of these tenements were dead at the time, so as the writer says, the slum was being run on behalf of and for the benefit of a corpse.

I'm a pretty basic bitch when it comes to my novel choices, but heres the a trilogy I started recently. I'm about 100 pages into the first book and it's getting interesting so we'll see if I stick with it..

It took 100 pages to start getting interesting?

I'm glad you're here to inform us that the Nazis were pretty bad guys and that the Holocaust was kind of a flub.

Flub? Not bad, just unsuccessful?

I'd say it was something of a blunder.

No, it was interesting within the first couple pages, but it's not very well written and has some serious cheese at times.. It's your typical dystopian, high tech society novel for YAs. I might try reading one of the more classic sci-fi novels when I finish the trilogy.
