An intriguing and clever short story.
I really enjoy Ruth Ware novels so I decided to read this short story, although I have to admit I often find shorter stories lack the detail and depth I look for in a book. This book was a total surprise to me, I hadn’t read anything about the book prior to starting it so given the subject and writing style completely threw me. In fact I had to check it was a Ruth Ware story.Leah Reynolds and her family are living an isolated life on a remote island and are fighting to survive. When their home i...
Decent enough for a very short story.
Part of Amazon's "hush" collection this was a different dark and twisted story for the author. Our female protagonist , Leah, lives on an island with her father and three siblings. Their mother dead and the world they knew going down in flames, the children are now helping to build a wall. "They're coming" says their father but what exactly is happening? Intriguing premise but I had too much of an inkling about what was happening. Goodreads review published 07/08/20
Snowflakes is a short story, one of six parts in the Hush Collection from Amazon (free with Prime or Kindle Unlimited subscription).The story grabbed my attention and has a twist. My first reaction was this is a dystopian story with father and his children on an island. In the end I am not sure what to make of it. I'm sure there's a hidden message that is thought provoking that's not getting through to me.
3.5 ⭐ .....I guess. I don't like when authors blatantly force a political opinion in a book but for what this story is, I think it's well done. It's so depressing though.
Snowflakes was just too sad, too depressing, and I had a feeling I knew what was going on in the story and that led me back to the sad and depressing. Not that anything could have made the story a happy one because no matter what the father of these children was trying to do, he was going about it the wrong way. I won't say more because this story is so short that to say more would be to give it all away. This story is part of Hush, a collection of 6 stories, ranging from political mysteries to
I thought I needed “snowflakes” in my life today..it’s 118 degrees in Phoenix! But, this CLEVER short story hit TOO close to home. It didn’t seem like something RUTH WARE had written.Is it Dystopian?Horror? It’s worse.Truth vs. IllusionAnd, it doesn’t seem that far fetched anymore with the things I have witnessed lately. Part of Amazon’s new HUSH collection-6 stories-6 deceptions! Just 36 minutes to read!These are original short stories by some of our favorite authors-Ruth Ware, Lisa Unger, Alis...
I accomplished my reading challenge with this book and already read 250 books!🎈🥂🥳🤓🧐OMG! Did you remember “Ernt”character from Kristin Hannah’s Great Alone, forcing them move to Alaska, a town in the middle of nowhere, building a big wall around their house to protect his family. Is the synopsis familiar to you? Yes, this book has too many similarities take place a deserted island in the present time. Four children and father tried to survive against the apocalyptic war threat:maybe they may be u...
Leah's father keeps him and his children isolated on an island away from the main land. He says war is coming. They have to build a wall. Allegedly their mother was shot by a soldier. But what is really going on here? Did Leah's mother really die and what about the true reasons for the father's strange behavior? A very compelling and depressing story from the point of view of a small girl. You feel with the characters and hope for a good ending. The twist in the story is fine. What can I say, an...
Snowflakes is one of six short stories in the Amazon Hush Collection.Do you like a big heaping pile of political opinion with your pseudo-dystopian short story? Then this one is for you! When I saw the title, I had my fingers crossed that this wasn't a *wink wink nod nod* usage of this word that is so casually tossed around to name-call those who hold an opposing viewpoint. But alas, here we are. UPDATE: Final rankings for all Hush short stories:1. Buried2. Slow Burner3. Let Her Be4. The Gift5.
This story isn’t standard Ruth Ware. It’s a dystopian tale that seemingly comes close to some of the things going on in our world today. It’s depressing, but clever (especially the title). I can’t say I enjoyed reading this, but it’s an interesting and thought provoking read. This is part of Amazon’s new Hush Collection, 6 stories each written by a different author.
Be sure to check for my review, first posted on Mystery and Suspense, as well as a number of other insightful comments by other reviewers. http://www.mysteryandsuspense.com/rev...Having not yet read any of Ruth Ware’s work, I thought this short story, part of the HUSH Collection, might be the ideal launching point. Brief and to the point, Ware is able to weave in some powerful messages as the pieces soon fall into place. Leah Reynolds and her family are fighting to survive, living in a war zone
