![]() ![]() ![]() To that end, in order to put together our list of the 100 best sci-fi movies ever made, we asked a wide-ranging panel of experts, from Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Sir Paul Nurse, to Oscar-decorated film director Guillermo del Toro, to Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin, along with a few regular old Time Out writers. They deal with relatable issues and themes, not just the geeks writing novel-length theoretical treatises on fan forums. Science-fiction films might frequently create entirely new worlds, but the best of them do what any good movie should do and tell us about the world we actually live in. But the reality is that sci-fi was never meant to appeal only to a small niche.

The author approaches such a mundane task as tidying with such passion, creativity and inspiration that I am absolutely amazed. ![]() I would definitely recommend this to a friend and have done so already. I have well over 100 books in my Audible library now, and while I came across several really excellent ones, this was the one that compelled me to write a review for the first time.

Young Levana is smart, ambitious, and desperately in need of love that she never got from her parents or sister. You still don't like her, you still know she is batshit crazy, and yet there is something so sad and tragic about this story. This book doesn't actually take away any of the crazy, evil villainy from Levana, but it does offer convincing (and seriously disturbing) reasons as to why she became the way she is.

For me, a complex villain with a backstory that can create sympathy is one of the strongest kinds of characters. It personally made me want to know more about her. Levana is a seriously crazy bitch in the other books of the Lunar Chronicles. There's just something really great about reading the stories behind the villains, finding out why they became the way they are.

This is easily my favourite book of the series. ![]() A girl who tried so hard, harder than anyone else, and still never had anything to show for it.”Ĥ 1/2 stars. “She cried for the girl who had never belonged. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet in the main, life continues as banal, wondrous, and complicit as ever for the family, until their caution, their hedged bets, and their denial are answered by the wholly expected events they haven’t allowed themselves to imagine.Īll for Nothing, published in 2006, was the last novel by Walter Kempowski, one of postwar Germany’s most acclaimed and popular writers.
