Official Review: The Lost Hopes of the Future

[Helen_Combe]

Coming of age, 1980s nostalgia, young adult.... everything sounds like it is a book I would totally enjoy! I'm going to seek this title out on Amazon or at my library so I can read it.

Thanks for the review!

Great! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for posting.

I'm so intrigued by the premise! It's a pity that the book started to fall apart, but I agree that everyone needs an editor. Thanks for the review, Helen! (It's great to see a new review from you!)

Thank you. It’s good to be back. Job hunting eats time. It was nice to be able to read a book over Christmas.

The premise is quite interesting. It's amazing that the book is written by teenager.

Thank you for the insightful review.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the 80s retro nature of Stranger Things, I think the premise of this book sounds amazing. The theme of someone being gay as a window where everyone knows it but them and the resulting angst sounds rather 80s too. I guess some things don't change that quickly! Thanks for an interesting review.

Thank you. It was funny how all his friend's kept rolling their eyes and saying "it’s 2017!”

Reading has been and always will be such an important part of my life. I am delighted to see a novel geared toward the young adult readers. The synopsis, however, seems terrifying for such young minds. I agree with previous posters in that the young author should be quite proud of her accomplishments.

Indeed. Thank you for posting.

This reminds me of the movie "The Final Destination". Thanks for the nice review

Ah, that was mentioned in the book. Not having seen the film I don’t know how independent this book is or whether it’s fam fiction. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for another insightful review! I liked your point about the author focusing too much on the character's sexuality, rather than on the fact that his friends were dropping dead. Sometimes the concept of a story can be good, but the themes aren't juggled well.

I think this happens a lot in books, particularly mysteries. For example, an author will emphasize a romance too much and it takes away from the mystery.

I love mystery stories especially with the way you just narrated this story (I. e recorded video tapes of future deaths). Thanks for the wonderful review.
