The Unnoticeables: A Novel | Robert Brockway
15 posts | 8 read | 21 to read
"There are angels, and they are not beneficent or loving. But they do watch over us: they watch our lives unfold, analyzing us for repeating patterns and redundancies. When they find them, the angels simplify those patterns and remove the redundancies, and the problem that is 'you' gets solved. Carey doesn't much like that idea. As a punk living in New York City, 1977, Carey is sick and tired of watching strange kids with unnoticeable faces abduct his friends"--

Just grabbed this one off a shelf in the stacks because the cover looked interesting and the blurb sounded good. Kind of horror, kind of sci-fi. Plot details are skimpy but it was fun to read. Moves back and forth between NYC punks in the 1970s and 21st century Hollywood. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

#bookmail !! Such a sweet, sweet combo! Have been wanting to dive into the Vicious Circuit series. And the Clines book came out a while ago and had to get my hands on it. I think they‘re re-publishing it soon.

By far one of the best series I‘ve read in a long time. Not sure what they are putting in the water at cracked.com but they have extremely talented writers churning out some amazing stuff!

Horror/Urban fantasy where angels may really be the stuff of nightmares. Carey is a punk roaming the streets and clubs of 1977 NYC. Kaitlyn is an out-of-work stunt woman working as a waitress to make ends meet in 2013 LA. Brockway weaves together parallel narratives and inserts just the right amount of snark into his characters. I enjoyed this so much. And this is the first in a series?! Excuse me as I request the next book from the library.

diovival Warning: There was one part near the end of the book that I found extremely disturbing involving body horror, sexual violence. 7y

"Matt! Stop watching that girl pleasure our appliances and focus! You and Safety Pins have the most important jobs, so I need you to pay attention. Are you here with me?"
"Yeah," Safety Pins said, biting her lip in concentration. "What do you need us to do?"
"I need you to carry the beer."
Safety Pins looked a little offended, but Matt recognized the seriousness of his task.

"You know I hate those damned parties. Nobody talks to you; they just yell parts of their resume at each other while pretending they're not on coke." ?

Excited to start this today! Found while browsing the library shelves. #currentread

MicheleinPhilly I love this! When I look back to my school years and remember how much grief the "band geeks" and "theater nerds" and "English dorks" were subjected to, I always think, "Who's laughing now?" #WhoRunTheWorld #Nerds ?? 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk I'ma read this book at some point. 7y

Fun. Fast paced. Weird.
A punk rock book with a punk rock attitude. I really enjoyed it and will definitely read the sequel.
