This is one I skipped over last year and I‘m so glad I circled back to it. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. It‘s such a good exploration of patriarchy and incels (without ever using that word). I loved it.

As the world feels scarier and scarier each day, I decided to find something to read that would be comforting and uplifting, and The Wild Robot was that book. For middle-grade readers (but frankly, anyone should be reading this), Peter Brown gives us a found family that will warm your heart and make you believe in unconditional love. I think it would be great for a family to read and talk about together. All the stars!!
The idea is great, and the beginning is very intriguing. However, after a few chapters, I could not take more of Uncharles. I don't like the writing style, and the narrator's voice is plodding and grating, so I bailed.
A visual comprehensive coverage of how the science fiction genre was begun, who the major figures are, where it seems going.
This doesn‘t only name-check the books but the graphics, the manga, the films and tv shows.
A smorgasbord in other words. I wouldn‘t say this is a volume you can just breeze through; write down the names and recommendations as you go. 🛸🚀👨🚀🤖👽
Slow start but worth it. What is justice? What is purpose? What is love and connection? Excellent end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's been a minute since I read the first two Wild Robot books. I honestly don't remember them going this hard. The story conveys much in a way accessible to younger readers, it features the return of many beloved characters, but it also confronts: environmental pollution, undersea mining, the damage done in harvesting the minerals today (and likely the future)'s tech demands, 1/?
