Now she must unravel the truth around her own history in a terrifying race against time.
MY REVIEW
As its said that this novel is perfect for fans of Black Mirror, I can’t compare Followers to Black Mirror as I never read Black Mirror.
The lines I loved reading the most. The frustrating part of it, writing a book she wasn’t really writing, was that she had been good at this once, when she was young.
This part I enjoyed reading about the character Orla. I found her very interesting writing a book on a typewriter.
Orla would spend her afternoon curled over the electric typewriter that sat on her bedroom carpet.
Orla never had thought she’d move to New York as there’s were authors grew, and she would be an author. She learned what former teens composition all stars did when they got to the big city. They blogged . She had been blogging at Lady-ish for six years then decided to something bigger, write a book.
This story has a lot more to it than just Orla, but I don’t want to spoil it as I know many readers will want to buy followers to read it for your self to find out what happens.
The novel Followers does have a lot pages to get through with 425 pages, but there’s plenty within the story to keep reading about ambition, love and with a future version of high-tech , Internet obsessed culture.
MY THANKS
I would like to thank HQ for sending me a paperback early proof copy of Folowers to read, review and for inviting me to be part of the blog tour.
