what a ridiculous, ridiculous book

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

March 12, 2022 by wicherwill 1 Comment

I REALLY wish I’d written the review for this sooner, because I remember this being just the most ridiculous book and probably would have written a nicely scathing review had I gotten around to doing so on time. Instead, we will have scathe by proxy as I try to piece together what I thought from the four parts I highlighted. Here is what this book is not, I suppose: a tense thriller, a whodunit, a murder mystery, a psychological treatise on humanity or any combination […]

A Stupendously Traumatic Story of Terrible People

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

January 6, 2022 by ingres77 2 Comments

I came across this book when I saw LurkeyTurkey‘s review back in December. Anything being described as “a kick in the teeth” is going to intrigue me, if nothing else. I’m so thankful that this review is spoiler-free, because I went into this book not really knowing anything about it, and I think that was the best way to experience this story. Thanks, LurkeyTurkey! For what it’s worth, synopses I’ve seen of the book give much of it away. So be forewarned. This book takes […]

The cowboys are Librarians who work with more than books

Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey

January 4, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Upright Women Wanted has a really interesting set-up: take your standard Western setting, and instead of cowboys, substitute a group of women called Librarians, whose supposed job is to delivery Approved Materials for reading and pick up the old or worn out materials for fixing up. Esther wants to join the Librarians to get away from her past and she stows away in a Librarian wagon. Obviously she gets caught and reaches a tentative agreement with the Head Librarian Bet about apprenticing. The novella follows […]

The Downside of Genius

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

December 18, 2021 by LurkeyTurkey 1 Comment

Well if this book wasn’t a kick in the teeth….. Evelyn Caldwell is a brilliant geneticist with a specialty in adult human cloning.  She is married to Nathan, a rather mediocre scientist, and utter shit husband.  At the pinnacle of her scientific career, Nathan leaves Evelyn and marries another woman.  A woman who unsettles Evelyn to her core. It would be a shame to give away any of the plot details more than that, as this was really an incredible book to go into cold. […]

You’ve probably heard of this one already. Woman takes the regional train to and from work every day and watches for a couple who live on a house backing the tracks.

An interesting contrast to the misogynistic nonsense that was Vox

The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

November 8, 2021 by Bothari43 1 Comment

Usually I prefer a heaping helping of escapism in my media (as Murderbot would say), but this Bloggess-recommended book was CHEWY, and I think I will be pondering it for quite some time. I’m not sure how far to go into the synopsis, because it’s going to get spoilery real fast, but here goes: Evelyn is a brilliant scientist who specializes in clones, mapping the brain to make a clone more or less like their progenitor. Her husband is a less-brilliant scientist, jealous of the […]
