Sleeping Giants
by Sylvain Neuvel
DEFINITELY INTERESTING.

This was great as an audiobook! There’s a whole cast that really brings the book to life. I honestly think it influenced how much I like it. The book itself is also short, so it was quick and easy to get through in no time.
I started out wondering why in the world nobody was questioning this random interviewer who seems to be making some sort of record about the giant being assembled. Then, as the book went along he turned from what I thinking was a bad guy to a good guy? I honestly don’t know where he stands, but this transition alone has me really intrigued about his true role in the story.
The formatting was dynamite for this type of novel. Written in interviews, journal logs, etc. I really felt connected and invested in the characters. They all went through so much in the time span I got to see them. What happens next?!
It was really trippy putting this in a now day and age concept. Thinking that there’s some crazy massive pieces to a metal god underneath us? Whaaaaat. The politics of it all was well put in and didn’t overtake the story. A lot of worlds colliding and unknown allies and enemies.
Definitely ended on a cliff-hanger that had me questioning everything and quickly putting a hold on the next audiobook ASAP.
Overall audience notes:
- Sci-fi + Fantasy
- Language: some light language
- Romance: some kisses, light description of a love scene; discussion of sleeping with others
- Violence: explosions, car accident (with malicious intent), medical procedures done without consent, medical experimentation
