Official Review: Blocks by Tara Basi

[Ekta Kumari]

A suspenseful sci-fi would certainly be a great read. I've no problem with changing viewpoints as long as it doesn't seem out of place and adds to the suspense of the storyline. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. I'll try out the sample and see if I can consider it for future reading. Thank you so much for the well-written review.

Reading the first few lines of the review, I almost thought that Blocks by Tara Basi would be a childish book that my 40-year old self would not like to read. But as I went on reading, I found that it was more like a science fiction + fantasy novel - the genres that I always have been in love with. Looking forward to reading Blocks and looking at the imaginary world it paints.

This sounds like a really good post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel, which i am usually pretty interested in. The blurb and review definitely caught my attention. I'd love to check this book out.

Great review! I am so glad you liked the story. Your favor shines in this review.

I read the sample and I enjoy how the chapters jump from one set of characters to another. I found that to be interesting and helped me to slow down my breathing after the first chapter, which was packed with action. I am not generally a fan of sci-fi, but I think that this may be changing as I have found myself enjoying it more and more lately.

The existence of large monoliths on the Earth's surface always fascinated me and in Blocks, the author tried to explain the mysterious existence of these blocks.

Blocks by Tara Basi takes fast-paced sci-fi action from darkness on the ground, with fearful runaway boys under the gray monolith, to the light of space as returning scientists are filled with trepidation at their surprising discovery..."no one home." Cliffhangers indeed. Detailed review, Congrats on BOTD.

I have to agree, after only reading the sample I did not want to stop reading! This sounds like it’s going to be a great book.

Wow. The book sounds like an adventure, like what I'd like to experience firsthand. Sci-fi is one of my fave and I would be more than thrilled to journey in my fantasies when I do get a hold of this book

Official Review: Blocks by Tara Basi
. The review of the book is very interesting and simply draws you to the book. I am not much of a science-fiction reader but it has caught my attention. Well done for doing a good review on BLOCKS. The author, Tara Basi must be commended for writing such a catchy book.

[Okafor Prosper]

Sci-Fi isn't usually my go-to genre, but the plot of this one is intriguing. The suspense and action are also bonuses. I just hope the constant changes in viewpoints don't get me confused.

Blocks was the epitome of "unputdownable" for me, as it was full of suspense. From the first page, this story hit the ground running and rarely let up. Even though the action wasn't dialed up to high every moment, there was a steady flow of enthralling occurrences that kept me from growing bored. I found myself staying up late at night, obsessively reading page after glorious page because I just had to know what happened next. The author used the trick of changing viewpoints almost every chapter, resulting in 13 small cliffhangers as well.

I agree with you that the book opens up with a lot of action, mystery, and suspense, as Battery Boy and Stuff are trying to survive. The scenes that I have read were described very well, and the author draws the reader in as there are mysterious monoliths. I, too, am going to have to keep reading this one to the end and possibly all of the books in the series.

I love science fiction, and I've grown rather fond of postapocalyptic fiction over the years. I'm also very curious as to what these "blocks" might be. After all, we're still trying to determine the entire story behind Stonehenge, so it's clear that such a mystery is one that we as humans will never leave alone. The postapocalyptic and science fiction elements just add to the intrigue. Thank you for the helpful review.

[Dominic kimwele]

The reviewer has done an appealing job. So far I love the piece that I have read. Sci-Fi is normally my favorite fiction. From what I read I liked the character in Stuff.

[jaliper]

Im getting tired of dystopian stories so Im not sure if this for me or what. I'll just add this in my shelf for now. Thanks.

The crew of a spaceship returns to earth and are met with a deserted landscape with little human activity. The planet is almost unrecognizable as monoliths dominate the landscape, hence the crew has to discover new survival mechanisms.
