7 posts | 15 read | 35 to read
Tobys life was perfectly normal until it was unravelled by something as simple as a blood test.Taken from his family, Toby now lives in the Death House; an out-of-time existence far from the modern world, where he, and the others who live there, are studied by Matron and her team of nurses. Theyre looking for any sign of sickness. Any sign of their wards changing. Any sign that its time to take them to the sanatorium.No one returns from the sanatorium.Living in his memories of the past, Toby spends his days fighting his fear. But then a new arrival in the house shatters the fragile peace, and everything changes.Because everybody dies. Its how you choose to live that counts.

Wasn't sure when I started this was for me - thinking it was maybe YA and maybe it is - but I was completely and utterly hooked within the first five pages. It's a first person narrative about a group of teenagers held in since kind of sanatorium, but the truth about why they're there is leaked subtly and slowly. Sci-Fi but low key and above all a love story. Awesome, awesome book. Have the tissues handy and be prepared to be blown away.

Felt like Never Let Me Go meets desolate horror movie. The story pulled me in quickly, but it didn't quite come together as well as I would have liked.

I celebrated breaking 500 Litfluence points by buying a few books, including the one on the bottom 26 Letters, which was written by my cousin Ross DeMerchant.

Listened to the audiobook whilst driving. Big mistake. Sobbed the whole journey today. I've read this before and loved it, but the narrator really brings something else to the book. Think The Fault In Our Stars combined with Shawshank Redemption and you might get close to this book. I LOVED it.

Outwardly about as downbeat as they come but ultimately life-affirming, this thoroughly great piece of work managed to make me cry not once, not twice, but THREE times. Unheard of.
