VOX: One of the most talked about dystopian fiction books and Sunday Times best sellers

Product Information

I received an advance-read copy of this book from the publisher, Berkley, via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.** I love that the mechanism doesn’t inhibit your ability to read the book on its own because all of the books we tried were good in and of themselves, so we were able to enjoy reading them many times without the books “talking” to us too. Set in an America where half the population has been silenced, VOX is the harrowing, unforgettable story of what one woman will do to protect herself and her daughter. For readers' advisors: story doorway is primary, character and setting are secondary. There is quite a bit of profanity, some sex, and some violence. Plenty to talk about for book clubs. Good choice for fans of The Handmaid's Tale or Future Home of the Living God. Jean is a woman who now, when everything went to hell around her, wants to fight. Fight against the system, fight against the purists and brain-washers, fight against her new status, fight against her own husband. Even though the latter one isn’t that necessary, she still does it.

The World on Sunday: Graphic Art in Joseph Pulitzer's Newspaper (1898– 1911) (2005) (with Margaret Brentano) iVOX is best utilized with an unlimited, simultaneous use per title option, so that no child has to wait for a title, although a one copy, one user option is also available. So, feel free to read the review. I am not trying to change anyone's mind. I am just trying to express my opinion as thoroughly as possible, and if you don't agree that is fine. The point of my review is to help stop hate, hurt, and bias, so I do not want my review to contribute to that in any way. This novel was a completely compelling and unputdownable novel! It is disturbing and an uncomfortable read and will leave you thinking: What if ? It also questions the reader to evaluate themselves as to how they use their own voice... or if they use it at all.

I’m sure some of you who read the book will say: "Why? It’s so logical!" And if you are one of those people please feel free to enlighten me in the comments! I’d really appreciate some input there because for me it made no sense how it all ended. Especially the “cure and elicitor” aspect at the end of the book! What for?! Only women or men as well? Why take such drastic measures? I’ve the same feeling I had after finishing the TV series “Lost”: I don’t understand the ending. *lol* Ron Rash is renowned for his writing about Appalachia, but his latest book, The Caretaker, begins ... Still, I can already tell that the injustice that’s going to happen in this book will make me super angry. *lol* Urgh, why did I want to read this again?

revolutionary take on read-alongs for children ages 2-10. It is our wildly popular VOX Books experience, integrated and expanded into an interactive adventure using state-of-the-art technology.

The story moves along at a nice pace, making this a pretty fast read. It is engaging and stress-inducing, in a good way. But I found the resolution even more unlikely than the underlying notion. If tight plotting is your thing, you will probably be disappointed. But then this is not, IMHO, about the action-adventure element, as entertaining as that is. It is a warning about the cost of silence, and how not speaking up now can shut you up later, to the detriment, not only of yourself, but of generations to come. Vox".

You may notice that this review has lots of comments. If you have a criticism of my review, it most likely been discussed ad nauseum so I encourage you to look through the comments first. "That I missed the point", "The book did not say 'All' people of a certain group", "Don't you understand what the political climate is in America right now?", etc. - all have been covered. Reading Paulette Jiles' revenge western Chenneville, it's easy to remember she's a poet. She plays ... Don’t let my review keep you from reading it though! Maybe you’re one of the people who get it and if you do, I genuinely hope you’ll explain it to me! *lol* ;-PThe characters were boring and completely flat. This definitely should've been a book that goes into depth with the feelings and thoughts of its characters, but it failed big time. After sitting down with Vox it became immediately apparent to me that my feelings were going to be drastically different with this title. The very first thing I noticed was the writing style flowed a lot easier than Atwood’s had and with that it made immersing myself into Dalcher’s world a lot easier of a transition than I’d experienced with Atwood’s world. The stories are similar in the generalist of comparisons but Dalcher has brought the idea into this era in time to make it easier to relate to. My child thought it was fun and relatively easy to use. The book choices were good and she really liked the book animation. She said she liked this better than other book reading programs that she has tried. Simon The author has somehow managed to take a unique plot line with limitless potential and turned it into a Christian and male bashing rant of epic proportions (full disclosure: I am not a Christian nor am I a man.) Somewhere along the line, what was known as the Bible Belt, that swath of Southern states where religion ruled, started expanding. It morphed from belt to corset, covering all but the country’s limbs—the democratic utopias of California, New England, the Pacific Northwest, DC, the southern jurisdictions of Texas and Florida—places so far on the blue end of the spectrum they seemed untouchable. But the corset turned into a full bodysuit, eventually reaching all the way to Hawaii. And we never saw it coming.
