Well this one just sucker punched me in the feels!
My whole outlook on teaching writing has changed for the better!
My first read for battle of the books for the 2020-2021 year. This book wasn’t really my thing but also I read it really quickly. I’m not sure if I will keep this in my classroom, but it would definitely recommend it is not my students who are into fantasy,
Full Review from my blog Owl Eyes Reviews
Station Eleven has been blowing up in the book community recently. I got super excited when my sister gave me her copy to borrow telling me that I have to read this book as soon as possible. (There are a few people who when they give me books, I read it immediately. My sister is one of those people.) Within the day of her giving it to me, my nose was in the pages.
I kind of hit a wall with this book at the beginning because it was so different than I thought it would be. (Does that ever happen to you guys When you have a little trouble moving forwards with a book because it was so different than you thought it would be?) For some odd reason, I thought this was a historical fiction novel. I don’t know what put it in my mind. I was sitting there reading like “Wait, what do they have cell phones?” It took me quite a while to stop reading this book as a historical novel. Once I got past that, it was all smooth sailing.
This book really captivated me because it felt like a mystery. (Whoa, I know. I hate mystery. Give me a second to explain.) It was like a mystery in the sense that I couldn’t figure out what was going to happen next fast enough. It was one of those books that I liked a lot, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you what it wasn’t a love. This books is the perfect rainy day companion.
