![]() ![]() It wasn’t a perfect story and wasn’t a five in my eyes, but it was a real and touching story. She wrote a short story that apparently sat in my subconscious for almost a week and then sprung back out – allowing me to think about it again. Roth was able to do this without me even realizing it. ![]() ![]() I was standing in the grocery store preparing to buy my wife some flowers to celebrate her passing a civil service promotional exam when I saw an orchid and it brought me right back to this book. The story itself was probably forgettable on it’s own if it weren’t for some of the apparent voodoo she put in it. She didn’t go with the typical YA that we’re used to from her but wrote a more literary-focused short story. I’ve read other books from Roth and this was a little bit different. I don’t know exactly why I didn’t know how I felt but part of it was that this story compared to some of the others in this series was a little more literary in it’s writing style. ![]() Ark tells a story of the inevitable meteor coming to destroy the Earth – specifically a story about a group of people who are working on classifying different plants before joining the others on their new planet. Not a “oh man, this book was fantastic” but more of a… “ hmm I don’t know how I feel about this book” kind of shock. When I first finished this book, I was kind of in a state of shock. Different Than I Expected, But I Enjoyed It ![]()
