Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 15 and up Definitely one of the better “science” fiction books I’ve read, simply because the science in this book seems viable and not too far fetched. The book is written mostly in journal entries, which upholds the bleak tone of the author while keeping the reader engaged. This book has no romance, little to no self-reflection and reminiscing, and is pretty much all about one astronaut’s will to survive. It skips the cliche ending with reunions between family members and astronauts, and simply focuses on the intellect that a … Continue reading Book Review: The Martian by Andy Weir

So, without further ado, I present the review for I’ll Give You The Sun: Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Genre: Fiction Age Recommended: 15 and up This book is extraordinarily written from the perspective of a set of twins – a brother and a sister. The story goes back and forth over a 3 year period and offers a lens into each sibling’s journey through life. We see the brother as he … Continue reading Book Review: I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
