Fifties Chix: Travel to Tomorrow by Angela Sage Larsen Review

Travel to Tomorrow by Angela Sage Larsen

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I thought that this book was going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I love time travel books and whatnot, so I thought that I would just fall in love with this story.

Not so. This book was just okay. The plot wasn't phenomenal, it was actually pretty boring. It was hard to keep track of the intimate details of the five girls' separate lives and not confuse them. The characters were genrally pretty boring, and the historical aspect wans't very inriguing. I mean, the plot just lacked a lot. Very slow-paced, and it never really picked up or became interesting.

I didn't hate it, I mean I could get some enjoyment out of it, it just was onlt decent. Overall, there really isn't much to say about this book besides the fact that it was lacking a good storyline.

Read it if you want to try it for yoursef. Maybe you'll like it a little more than I did. I started it in April, but got sidetracked because of how boring this was. I only picked it back up again on August 9th. Glad I'm finally just done with it.

My (Super Belated) Anthem by Ayn Rand Book Review on Goodreads

Anthem by Ayn Rand

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


CREAMPUFF, SOLARIUS, DAZPUP, EMILY, JULIANA, AND LUNARIETTE: YOU MUST READ THIS REVIEW! IT SLAMS ANTHEM A LOT! Unless you like Anthem in which you can still read it but you just might want to comment in it's defense...I have a feeling JuJu might have liked it...





Okay, so if you look for my reviews about my books on my read-for-school shelf, you'll see that reading books for school generally ruins them for me. It drags the book out, you analyze it, read it forcedly in between other bits of homework, write an essay on it, do vocab on it, have class non-stimulating discussions, and other stuff that somehow really annoys me. So forgive me if I'm a bit unfairly harsh. I'm sure it's better than I give it.



Okay, the only reason I rated this 2 stars for "it was ok" is because I have a thing for dystopian so the futuristic bits (a society that lost most technology)was interesting for me. Really, though, I did not like Equality (or Prometheus, whatever). He just didn't hit it for me. I mean, he was just a bit too conceited and I don't know what. Did anyone else find this book hard to explain? Because I did. Somehting about him was just...unrealistic.



Most of my problems with this book probably stem from the fact that it was written in the thirties. The dystopian writing style back then was different. Maybe if I'd read this back then I'd have loved it. I don't know. This book just kind of hit the tree 100 yards away from the target for me. In a lot of ways. I know my school friends will love this review.
