Thanks to a generous friend in the publishing industry, I scored an advanced copy of Beth Revis' Across the Universe last month. Unfortunately, I don't have a complete review prepared (I got side tracked by this killer zombie tale. More on that later.), but I can say that I can't wait to get through to the end.
Imagine you're me. If you've got your thinking cap on correctly, this means you appreciate stories with melancholic trappings, visual aides, and you spend considerable amounts of time denying your love of sci-fi/fantasy (then, eventually, giving in to Battlestar Galactica weekend marathons).
Lucky for me/your imagined me/us, this book seems to have it all. Girl frozen in intergalactic transit: check (bonus points if you're humming The Smiths right now). A map of the spaceship she's riding: check. Murder! Intrigue! In space!: check.
What could be better? Oh, I know. A book trailer narrated by my 90's idol, Lauren Ambrose!
