This month our momstown Kitchener-Waterloo
Mama Book Club was sponsored by Scholastic Canada. We had the opportunity to read "Inhuman" by Kat Falls and we really enjoyed it. We have a dedicated Book Club, with moms who look forward to choosing and discussing a new book every month. This is the second time this year that we have a chance to read and review a book provided by Scholastic Canada.
Not all our group members would usually choose a Science Fiction read as this one, so we were pleased to read something that we might not otherwise read. We were delighted about how easy of a novel this was to read, especially for busy moms. And who can't relate to story of a woman dramatically trying to save her father?
In the wake of a devastating biological disaster, the United States
east of the Mississippi River has been abandoned. Now called the Feral
Zone, a reference to the virus that turned millions of people into
savage beast-men, the entire area is off-limits. The punishment for
crossing the border is death.
Lane McEvoy can’t imagine why anyone would risk it. She’s grown up in the shadow of the great wall
separating east from west, and she’s curious about what’s on the other
side – but not that curious. Life in the west is safe, comfortable . . .
sanitized. Which is just how she likes it.
But Lane gets the shock of her life when she learns that someone
close to her has crossed into the Feral Zone. And she has little choice
but to follow. Lane travels east, risking life and limb and her very
DNA, completely unprepared for what she finds in the ruins of
civilization . . . and afraid to learn whether her humanity will prove
her greatest strength or a fatal weakness.
Inhuman is the first novel in this series/trilogy and our moms are looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
This is a great testimonial from one of our most loyal book club members: "I liked it. Thought the story was different than others I have read before. Will definitely want to read more from that series."
Join us on the first Wednesday of every month at Chapters to get reading and sharing with us!
