The Gardener by S.A. Bodeen

 

In his quest to find his father, Mason accidently awakens comatose patients.  He becomes embroiled in a dangerous quest to find out what happened to the patients.  How is it possible that Mason’s newly awakened friend doesn’t require food or water to survive?  He longs to know his father, but will he like what he learns?  What kind of monster experiments on children and is willing to kill his own child?

I enjoyed the novel concept that was introduced in this book of becoming autotrophic.  I found it slightly disturbing a little creepy, and frankly it made me slightly uncomfortable to read.  This book is by the same author of The Compound which was also creepy!  

Every Day by David Levithan Review

  

Every day a different body.  Every day a different  life.  Every day in love with the same girl. Have you ever wanted to be someone else for a day?  How about  having to be someone different EVERY DAY of your existence?  “A” wakes up each day and  lives  the life of someone new. Some lives are fun and exciting; some are a horror  to just survive the day.  How does one create a personal  identity with no body or stability of one’s own?  How can A create a life?

I absolutely loved  reading  about  who A was each day and how  A adapted to that person’s life!  Very interesting book and  the concept  was new and refreshing.  A must read.  It was reminiscent of the old show Quantum Leap J
