Official Review: Tick by Allison Rose

[bluemel4]

This book sounds great, thanks to a review well done! Dystopian novels are one of my favorite genres. The first one I've read was George Orwell's 1984, and I've been in love with dystopian novels ever since.

Thank you! This book felt like an updated 1984. Not exactly the same premise, but big brother is defiantly a theme. I really enjoyed this book. I think you will too.

I've never really cared for them. They're too intense and angsty in their worldview, and this book definitely seems that way... spies everywhere, scanning your brain? However, I do like The Giver.

This book has surprisingly very little angst. The main character is very mature. The book is just a glimpse of what the world would be like if certain events continue to happen. Think of it as a cautionary tale.

Great review! I'm always on the lookout for new books (as well as their reviews) and it sounds like a well-made novel! I'll be sure to check it out.

Great Review, Allison Rose! From the sounds of it this is a very modern zeitgeist based dystopia. Maybe this series will be the next big thing, if it doesn't tap to tender of a nerve with Americans today.

Hi bluemel4, Oops! what a foolish mistake. Thanks for the guidance, I'm new here and still figuring out the format.

This was a fantastic review, bluemel!! Absolutely fantastic!! Great structure and personality with plenty of detail, but not too much. Outstanding! Me and you have similar taste in books, and this one sounds great, it's definitely going on my list!
And...you can't do that on television ha ha alas, I don't remember the word either...
A quick Google search reveals the phrase: "I don't know," was the slime inducing term.

I nominated the book for the next BOTM.
