Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
In conclusion, I feel this book earned 5.0 out of 5.0 stars because it really captured the pain, heartbreak, and occasional hopeful moment of the disease while also weaving in a lovely bit of fantasy. Clearly, my grandfather is now one of the Goat Children.

I would love more actual background on the cursed child, but without spoilers I don't think I can do a proper review. Just know that, even though it's in screenplay form, it's a delightful read and I love it!!!!!!
I've loved the movie Soylent Green since I first saw it and, when I discovered it was based on a book I knew I had to read it! It took a while to get my hands on the book, but I'm so glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book and will be recommended to everyone.
This is definitely a cautionary tale about overpopulation. And I adore Sol's speech about death control and birth control.

My mom was reading this book in preparation of the movie coming out, so when she finished it I figured I would give it a read. It's been years since I've read this book and I still love it so much!
I would wager that this is the best of the Modern Girl's Guide books. Kim and Cash are fantastic and it was great to read a book where the girl is kinky rather than the guy trying to convince/guilt someone into acts that they aren't into. I'm already looking forward to the next book!!!
I love supplementary stories, but the wedding sorry made my day because it wasn't the wedding I was expecting.
I love backstories from my favorite books! Anything that provides me with more information about my favorite characters is wonderful! I intend to do a reread of the Harry Potter books sometime this year and I'm looking forward to the extra bits that pop out thanks to this additional knowledge.
Sir Nicholas wrote a poem about his beheading! I love it! Hahaha!
All that information about Umbridge (and the inspirations for her) were absolutely fascinating! Almost as interesting as the backstory on Minerva McGonagall!
I think my favorite thing about this series is that the good guys aren't so high and mighty. And they're not above using their powers for a little self-gain.
