Book Review: Then It Fell Apart – Moby

Posted on February 27, 2022January 29, 2024 by Henriette

This is an excellent book to read if you’ve ever thought that fame and fortune will make you happy. It really does show that peace is an inner job and not dependent on anything happening on the outside.

I never intended to even read this, but I picked it up in the bookstore and got drawn in by one of the countless unbelievable stories of being a famous musician. I got so drawn in by the insanity of it all that I finished reading it in two days.

Book Review: The Last Astronaut – David Wellington

Posted on February 12, 2022January 29, 2024 by Henriette

The power of science-fiction is to boggle the mind and this story definitely did that for me. I don’t think I’ll be spoiling anything by saying that The Last Astronaut is a first contact novel. However, it is quite unique so you can expect something different here. Without giving too much away let’s just say that how Wellington envisioned the ship and aliens was really interesting. Also, in terms of the science, this story was well researched but what stood out to me was the writing. It was excellent. At times it really grabbed me by the throat and forced me to pay attention.

Book Review: The Children of Men – PD James

In Year Omega the entire human race becomes infertile. No real reason is given for this, but the after-effects are dire.

As someone who reads and writes sci-fi, I would have loved to come up with an idea like this. It’s an epic idea for a story because you can do so much with it.
