I didn’t find the ending particularly satisfying either… All in all not exactly a positive experience unfortunately. But between the writing, lack of proper plot and general feeling of confusement I can’t say I had a great time reading The Living, and to be honest I was relieved when I finally reached the final page. I can forgive the romance, especially since we are spared a love triangle. This is actually quite a refreshing angle. I can forgive a zombie story not being scary and the humans being the bad guys for once. As for the writing style: especially the WE chapters were frustratingly confusing and there were too many jumps and switches between past, present and the different characters to make for a coherent story. Once again, I felt that the story in general lacks a proper plot and that both plot and characters were mostly all over the place and running into random trouble instead of following a coherent line. The Living follows the same structure as the sequel and even intensifies the confusing writing style and structure as the end is coming near. Still, part of me hoped that this final book of the Warm Bodies series would be an improvement and a satisfying conclusion to R and Julie’s story. Why? I was considerably underwhelmed by the sequel, and I had serious problems with the writing style. Thank you! ***īefore I start I have to make a confession and say that I probably would never have decided to read The Living if I would have read The Burning World before requesting a copy of this final book. *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and Zola Books in exchange for an honest review. “It’s easier to fall than to climb, and yet against all logic, life keeps rising.” 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.In the 1980s, the youth magazine Na Przełaj (Short Cut) printed rock lyrics in a column titled KOALANG, hinting that the songs' texts contained content camouflaged from censorship.
Zajdel paid a tribute to George Orwell's newspeak and to Aldous Huxley, by naming one of the main characters Nikor Orley Huxwell. Thus, a phrase that is used to describe something metaphorically should not be used again in the same context.
The software that analyzes sentences is self-learning. For example, "I dreamt about blue angels last night" means "I was visited by the police last night." The meaning of every sentence depended on the context. īecause Paradyzja is a space station, and activity is tracked by automatic cameras and analysed, mostly, by computers, its people created an Aesopian language, which is full of metaphors that are impossible for computers to grasp. The " ko-al" in " koalang" derives from the Polish words ' kojarzeniowo-aluzyjny' ("associative-allusive"). It is a language used by people in a totalitarian world called Paradyzja in his 1984 novel of the same name.
