Welcome to Litsy!

Excellent narrator. I watched the movie before reading the book, so my impressions are skewed. It was strange to me how it was written for young adults or children (Scholastic), but the themes felt very adult with graphic scenes. I appreciate the Peter Jackson made the movie feel more like it was for adults. The characters were alright but it was the settings that were most imaginative. And Shrike.

“It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried-out bed of the old North Sea”

Waah....at last completed new book😌

#addiction #newlove #mortalengine #hestershaw😍 #tom

Ay! Yo!! Ppl admit this daring truth like me!!😌🤗 And those characters made my standards for men tooo damn high ^_^ who all are suffering like me?#bookfreak #fictionlover #singlecozofBOOKS

For ten years now the London has been taking over land.The Lord Mayor has discovered a new area in Europe that he can rule over the land. I think the author started the story like this to let us know the the type of things that happen and the history of the people in the story.

I reviewed the Mortal Engines Quartet. It was so good! Check out my review at ashsscript.com

I really liked the story here. Easy read YA. With a new look on the world with motorized city's. Some fun characters and adventure and action

Have to go with a so-so on this one. The story seemed like a jumble events before it ever got to the point, and too many characters died. It is a unique concept though. Another #bookspinbonanza book down. 😊📚📖 #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Mortal Engines Series Book 1
I highly enjoyed this book because of the steampunk era and medieval London. I loved the characters and how the story went along. I rate this book an 8/10 because of the emotions and because I loved how “mechanical“ the time period was (?) Recommended to people who love science fiction, and action-packed plots.

Hubbie once asked me about this series, but we both decided that it sounded like to much YA and to little Sci-Fi. Still, as it happens, I still came along this book and listened to the audio book.

And loved it!

It's unlike the kind of YA I thought it would be and that's great. I loved the world that reminded me of Dune. There are also other hints on sci-fi classics, those I really enjoyed as well.

I've had to ditch this one for now, it's not a bad book, and held myy interest for a while, but it's dribbled off now.
It's not the books fault, it's mine.
Can't seem to stay focused at the moment.

I loved this book, middle class being thrown into poverty and anti establishment themes are my wheelhouse. I may be projecting but the book feels like a commentary on late stage capitalism. It was a great fantasy book and a fun read, I don't think there could have been any plausible happy ending but understand the need for one. Despite the themes I mentioned it isn't a heavy book and is a good way read or listen

“sometimes, on our way through the world, we meet someone who touches our heart in a way others don't.“

Sewing little ghost friends and finishing up the first book in the Mortal Engines series. The pacing is a bit slow but overall I find the characters charming. #nowlistening #craftyreads

A fantastic idea with semi-flat characters and far too flowery language.

After hearing about the movie months ago, I knew I had to read the book first. As much as I enjoyed it, I couldn't say that I will finish the series. The idea is so steampunk and cool, however the book just seems to drag. The fact that the main character isn't flawless is one if the main things about the book I liked as its different yet obvious. I do prefer the movie, only because I felt it was faster and more action packed.

My #bn #bookhaul today. Yay half off books! 😻😻😻

Bonus Aral for #catsoflitsy

It's definitely an interesting world concept...a post-apocalyptic planet created when the continents shifted, it's devoid of digital tech & most of our historical records; entire cities wheel themselves across the globe gobbling up smaller cities for parts. The human element is a familiar story - men in power grasping for tech that will provide them global domination stomps on the little guy once too often & unwittingly unleashes a revolution.

#lakelife took me a while to start getting into this book, but we are rolling along now. #YA #scholastic #sundayfunday

Making progress in this #readathon. Finished Mortal Engines and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Plus making progress on The Duke and I on audiobook 🤗

I like to stay pretty focussed, 1 physical book, 1 audiobook. How bout you? How many books are you juggling regularly? #questions

😁

Having a mini readathon this weekend for myself. Hoping to finish Mortal Engines, along with my other library books. 📚

The ending is very different from book to movie but both are still good.
Slow start but when it gets going it's a great page turner.
I am in love with Hugo weaving (pictured above) he plays the character Valentine.

Started this the other day.
It took a while to get into it but when it does oh it's a great story.
Fast page turner, always wanting to know what's next and loving the characters.
Have you seen the film yet?

An extremely well done story world and multi-layered characters, each having something unique to make them special and memorable. #Booked2019 #booktomovie @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

Absolutely loved this book. I loved the characters and how easily the plot flowed. I did start to get a little bit annoyed when there was no explanation on what had happened to society to result in this way of life. However, with one sentence half way through the book i was given the answer. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Good world building but disappointing characters and derivative story. There is a disappointing tendency for steampunk books‘ protagonists to be impossibly innocent and naive- a complicated world with an infantile protagonist lets the entire story down.

I don‘t read too much YA, but glad that I picked this up at the library. London (and other cities) are on the move, gobbling up smaller cities and towns over devastated ground. There are other cities that are static, high in the mountains protected by a Great Wall;there are airship pirates, lethal undying cyborgs, a boy engineer and a girl who wants revenge in this fast steampunk fantasy. And I have a mad crush on the pirate/spy/assassin Anna Fang

Part 1 of 3: 1000 years in the future where towns move on wheels, called "traction towns", that eat other towns (people become slaves, metals used for fuel to keep the predator town moving), all set during post a apocalyptic world where "the ancients" have destroyed the planet.
Tom Natsworthy, Hester Shaw & Kate Valentine (all 15-16 yrs old) save the world from the recreation of a bomb using relics. It's a teen book.

My latest audio. About half way through already and considering bailing.

#audiobook #bookofmovie #mortalengines

About to watch the movie to see how it compares to the books.

Was good

Hope it‘s good

Weirdest pregnancy symptom: reading makes me nauseous. I haven‘t read anything in two months! Have to power through this one: April‘s tween book club pick.

I‘ve been in Dallas for my initial visit with the headache center at Baylor, so I‘ve been out of touch for a few days, but I did receive a birthday gift from my mom while I was there! 😊

I'm reading the tagged book and it's ok. But here is a picture of my sweet dog Dexter. It is his birthday today! He's 3.
#dogsoflitsy

Been pretty busy this week, so I am only about halfway through. But pretty much this entire story all I can think is "Oh no, Tom Tom, baby what is you doing!"

Such a far out and amazing story, I really felt and related to the characters... For a story I started reading as a child and finally finished reading as an adult I truly loved this book!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟
Entertaining story. I'm not sure if I'll seek out the rest of the series, but this one was an enjoyable read. I'll be interested to see how the film compares.

Going to try to finish this one today so I can get back to Abaddon's Gate. I'm enjoying both of them, but this one has to go back to Libby tomorrow.

Living so close to Hull, I can confirm the similarity Reeve's is making 😂😂😂 #mortalengines #Yorkshire #England

Can‘t wait to read this! #bookno2
