my heart.
is going to.
E X P L O D E.
Since my brain is still a cacophony of 1's and 0's and !!!!!!'s and fUCK's, I thought I'd walk you through it in gif form:
And that about sums up what Illuminae will do to you. Are you ready? Probably not. It's amotherfucking zombie apocalypse in outer space.
Do it anyway.
Even if the wikipedia-like texts and dossier narrative style turns you off. Especially if they do, because believe me you, I was in that same boat as you and now my mind's been blown in two.
Have a blast!
Literally.
P.S. You may want to brush up on your collection of swear words beforehand, chum. You'll see why.

Wait till you read the second book. The second book will ruin your life as it ruined my life.

@ SaaniaI'm not gonna spoil you anything but the only thing I can suggest you is that be strong and DO NOT READ IT IN PUBLIC because you don't want to cry out loud in public, do you?
The second book is even better!!! Can't wait to see your thoughts on that one!
Fab review love! xo
MAY THAT WAS REALLY CRUEL. YOU'RE BRINGING BACK SAD MEMORIES.

I've been debating whether to pick this up. I'm not sure about the writing style.
Haha I love this review. Glad you enjoyed it so much!
The writing style of this one is the only reason I haven't read it yet, but I've been seeing so many rave reviews on it though!! Guess I'll have to nab a copy and just force picky self past the style of it to see the goodie within.
