OH MY GOD.Another book by Beth Revis? ? ? I would read anything Beth writes and that synopsis sounds so fucking amazing, I am dying to get my hands on this book!! ALSO, HAVE YOU SEEN THAT COVER???

4.5 starsFor a while after I finished The Body Electric, I struggled to gather my thoughts and figure out how to appropriately express my feelings. My experience with this book felt, for those few shocked minutes, far too important to be put into my unskilled English sentences. But I had to try, I had to do what I can to help this book get the attention it absolutely deserves.I always enjoyed Revis’ work, but I never experienced it this intensely. The Body Electric brings something new to the ta...

WHAT IS THIS I DONT EVEN CARE I KNOW IT SHALL BE MINE

Read for the 2015 Reading Challenge: #13 A book set in a different contryI love a good fresh sci-fi, especially if it is YA, we don’t get much of those. Beth Revis nailed it once more. With a cool main idea, great characters that feel human, and more mysteries than you think are hidden in the story. Revis creates her world and gives us just the enough explanation for all the technology it has so we find it interesting and fun. The science makes sense in her fictional-world but is not over-explai...

I need to write a review but just thinking about it makes me feel like this: https://youtu.be/F_XaIuw6K6QOk, fine.FINE!I'll write this review now.If any of my reviews bring on trolls, this will be the one.This is going to be a mean review. You should probably stop reading here, people who love this book. You're not going to like what I have to say.I'll start with nice things:Here's the one thing I really liked: This is set in future Malta. Yes, Malta! Not exactly common ground for a sci-fi YA no...

✮✮✮ 3,5 I love SF stars ✮✮✮Ready to go to New Venice? Yeah? Let's go!✸ The plot : The story takes place on Earth, in New Venice, on a time readers who read Across the Universe know : they talk about Godspeed, dammit! Of course I totally jumped - I was all, "Oh. My. Solar glass?". Understand : We deal with androids and FRX here. This book belongs to the SF genre. You've been warned. Here's the thing : I'm willing to explain the plot to you. I really am. But you know what? Less you know about it a...

This book was better then I expected. I don't read a lot of Sci-Fi but when I get a good story like this I love it. I thought the “future” was pretty cool, I imagine that it must be hard to invent future technology without it seeming cheesy. Despite my enjoyment of this book I did find it lacking in some ways, the plot wasn't as developed as I would have liked, but by the end I had warmed up to it (my background soundtrack of “ Saving the World from Evil” may have contributed to this). I wouldn'...

3.5 stars(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to Scripturient Books and NetGalley.)This was an interesting sci-fi story, and I liked how it all came together at the end.Ella was an interesting character, and it was obvious how much she’d been affected by her father’s death and her mother’s illness. I liked the way she went to great lengths to try and make things better, and to fight for those she loved, and how she wasn’t trying to make thing...

Absolutely adorable. Loved it! I am at a loss for words because this book really took my breath away. And I need to tell you more... I need to tell you how beautifully written it is, how amazingly vivid the world is, how incredible and fleshed out the characters are, how mind-blowing and breathtaking the plot is, how unreliable but relatable Ella is, how deeply she feels the loss of her father and how much she tries to keep her mother in her life for as long as she can. Not to mention just ho...

Androids and bees and dead scientist dad, oh my! The Body Electric by Beth Revis had me on the edge of my seat within the first few chapters and kept me going until the very end. Read the rest of the review here on October 20, 2014

3.5 StarsThe Body Electric is a companion novel to the Across the Stars series. The great thing about this book is that it is a stand-alone novel and even if you haven’t read the Across the Stars series everything will make sense. However if you are like me and read Beth’s other series there are little Easter eggs from those other books throughout.The Body Electric is what I would call Sci-Fi Lite. There are all kinds of futuristic devices and technologies and they are explained briefly but not

Original Review at www.awesomebooknuts.blogspot.comThis was yet another book I read without reading the synopsis and...oh man...this book, was bloody brilliant! Period, end of story, Brilliant.Where do I begin, this story is so unique and should have everybody reading it! It's an adventure with a very huge warning of big government and loss of freedom. It's a vivid dystopianIf you're a fan of Beth Revis's trilogy Across the Universe  which is set in space about a spaceship named Godspeed. Well t...

I was so thrilled when reading this book to realize its set in the same world as Across the Universe! So cool when phydus was mentioned. I love the whole description of the city and climatic reveals especially when I got near the end. The future stuff was excellent. I want a cuff and yet I don't, but I can totally see the benefit, especially when I go for a donut and it adds on more exercise. ;)

(I got a copy of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)I had planned on reading Across the Universe ages ago, yet never got to it. Instead, I got to this one—which, from what I understand, very loosely alludes to the former. I can confirm, in any case, that not having read Beth Revis's trilogy won't be a problem here: the present novel is a standalone, and previous knowledge isn't mandatory to follow its plot. Although I guess that, like me, you'll miss a few Easter Eggs...

Oh man, that was A LOT of Science! And I'm not even complaining! I hope I have this when I was in Highschool. It might have gave me a boost to listen and not dozed off in science class. Okay! Reading The Body Electric is a huge step of me getting out of my comfort zone. See, I don't usually read Sci-Fi. I mean, there's some that I truly enjoyed and loved, but most of them I just tried then marked DNF. Its just not my cup of tea. But Beth Revis is totally changing me. This is my first book from

ARC was provided by the author/publisher via NetGalley in exchange for honest review.3.5 starsI haven't read yet Across the Universe series, so this is my first Beth Revis books. That’s why I didn't have any expectation when I requested it on NetGalley. I only hoped that I'll get a good story before I decide whether her series is worth reading or not. I'm glad I give it a go.The first thing I recognize from this book is that it's more dystopia and sci-fi than I thought it will be. I've read so m...

The Body Electric was a really different read to what I was expecting it to be, it actually made me want to stop and think that all this could actually happen in real life. It was at times quite scary thinking about. Imagine being able to relive one of your favourite memories. It would be brilliant to be taken to this special memory you’ve had especially when you’ve had a crap day, but imagine being able to do this with a person that was special to you, but no longer around anymore. This is what...
