Tonight's Book Club Monday is pretty special for a couple of reasons! One, we're helping out Monica Leonelle, the book's author, by hosting this review as well as an interview which will post tomorrow - don't forget to check it out!
Socialpunk is not typically the kind of book I would go for. Not to say that the writing isn't good, it is, but I just really can't get into most sci-fi/futuristic books (I'm more of a fan of memoirs and new books by authors I already like). While the book starts out strong, I felt that parts of the book were rushed in an effort to finish the manuscript, and editing was a little lax. If you are the type of person who can get through those types of things, then by all means, check out this book.
The book starts out in a future Chicago ('The Dome'), in 2052, where Ima (also referred to as E and Cinder in the book) lives with her parents and friend Dash. They set off to see Girl Talk play a show at the Congress Theater, and all goes well, that is until someone blows up the Congress and Ima is rescued by a strange man named Vaughn. She isn't into the idea of being rescued, though, since she didn't leave with Dash. She spends the entire book trying to find him. In this, she is led through an array of emotions, missions, and challenges.
For the most part, I enjoyed this book. If you are a fan of sci-fi/futuristic/Dystopian novels, it would definitely be for you. Be sure to check out the blog again tomorrow for an interview with Monica Leonelle!
