Reseñas de la Crítica

" The Ship is tense, engaging and emotionally charged: I devoured this novel." (Helen Dunmore)

"A beautiful futuristic fable with huge power to haunt and disturb." (M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts)

Very good story

I enjoyed listening to this story. Antonia Honeywell does a good job giving us a glimpse of what the future might become if we are not careful. It was well written and Melody Grove's performance was a good one. The only downside is the ending that left me wondering what happened next.

Liked but ended terribly

Hated the ending, returned it because of it. Also never understood why Lalla couldn't just seize the opportunity to become their leader and focus on organic regrowth in order to save them all instead of only seeing the ship as only a grave when it could have been a temporary haven while she figured out how to change things.

meh

good start. then nothing... for 8 hours all you get is a whiney girl... and nothing else.

Ok book

The premise and story of this book are interesting. I hated the main character so much I could barely stand the story because of her ridiculous thoughts and actions. Also, the reader kind of bothered me too.

At times the story moved to slow

At times the story moved to slow but it was a pretty good story. It seemed real.

Interview with author the saving grace

I listened to the free prequel and was so excited to listen. I kept waiting for it to get better and for the main character to stop being so full of self pity. I hated the ending even more than I hated the ending of the Divergent series.
The saving grace really was the interview with the author at the end. After hearing why she wrote this story and the inspirations for it I felt less negativity towards the book but still very frustrated.

enjoy the story and it was performed excellently!

it was long but interesting. main character was too whiny for me. did enjoy it.

Where late the sweet bird sings

Meets silent spring... This book was a solid 3.5 to 4 stars. An entrancing story told through the eyes of a teenage girl. It's about a destroyed world and a girl that lived through it because of her parents but never gets to experience it. Worth your time cash or credit. I would also put it the ya genre but very well done. Not like hunger games ect...

A good YA recommendation

A good YA recommendation.

For small group reading study. Middle Secondary. Capable readers should be able to make links to classics such as "Diary of Anne Frank"

Non relatable characters

The protagonist is so unlikeable / non relatable that it’s hard to care what happens to her and it’s hard to see why anyone else in the story cares about what happens to her. The themes of the story are interesting but totally muted given the main characters flaws.
