Well-done review about a Book Without Dragons, the title which made me think more of fantasy than science fiction. With our dependence on computers, the premise of what the world would be without technology intrigues me. It sounds like an interesting read.

I don't think this book is for me but I appreciate authors who experiment with different tense and style. Glad you made note of that in your review. I'll keep an eye out for this author's books now, to see if anything fits my mood.

I really like your review. I am interested in this book, because I like dragons and complex characters. I also like the fact that this book is in the science fiction genre.

i love the review, and consequently, the book itself. The the way olivia describes the characters, her short narration of the plot and how she curves her honest opinion, makes me sure i'd give the book a 4/4 after all.

I love science fiction but to be honest I hesitated to read this book because I might not get the inside joke that Ashley Simon mentioned. I might give it a try because I am curious about the way the author switch between first person present tense to third person past tense.

Nice review of a relatable book. This could very well happen to us in the future. And we could picture ourselves as the central characters. Congrats on #BOTD!

Thank you for such a well-written review! Oftentimes, reviewers include too many spoilers in their summarization and I felt like you told just enough to make me interested without giving away the best parts. Great job! I'm not typically a fan of sci-fi/fantasy, but this plot sounds very interesting. The changes in tense per each character is an unusual style, although I've seen similar things done and if done well, it can add a pleasant complexity to the plot. I'm looking forward to reading this, thanks again!

Wow.. That was a great review. They tried keeping us in a little suspense though but finally, we discovered there is no dragon. It got my attention.
