Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The exceptionally talented and completely unique author, Kristyn Dunnion is back with a brilliant new Sci-Fi novel."
-- "The Kingsville Reporter"

"Dunnion writes with verve and elegance. The prose flows smoothly; the action, while at times confusing because of the multiple narrators and points of view, moves forward strongly. Engaging main characters, varied and unique secondary characters, coldly scientific villains, a well-paced plot, timely themes, graphic dialogue, a skillfully designed social structure, and detail-rich descriptions combine to present an unusual and intriguing speculative novel.
Highly Recommended"
-- "CM Magazine"

"What a great story. Most of the time I couldn't put it down."
-- "Resource Links"

"The exceptionally talented and completely unique author, Kristyn Dunnion is back with a brilliant new Sci-Fi novel."
-- "The Kingsville Reporter"

"The verve of her (Dunnion) language and the strong rhythms of her prose give this dystopic tale a vivid earthiness. . . The strength of the story is in the intimate, complex relationships Dunnion depicts as she shifts perspective from one character to another, and in her ability to make us see our Earth anew."
-- "The Toronto Star"

"The language is easily accessible and enhances the believability of the fantasy world."
-- "Bureau County Republican"

"Appealing to readers who appreciate the experimentation of language and the exploration of story."
-- "Canadian Children's Book News"

"Highly Recommended."

""Big Big Sky" is an incredibly difficult book to put down. Dunnion's narrative is fast-paced, and each pace brings a new challenge. . . This excellent novel is highly recommended for fans of science fiction and dystopian narratives."
-- "Curled Up With A Good Kids Book"

"Highly Recommended."
-- "Hi-Rise Community Newspaper" (Don Mills)

"Pushing the YA envelope about as far as it can go without being an actual mail bomb, Dunnion has put together something like a mix between "Mad Max" and the new "Battlestar Gallactica." From Loo's first words, "Blaaty whafa, Rustle?!" the novel thrashes along with inventive invective that isn't quite foul, but obviously is. Buried in the gore, however, is a novel that is as poignant as any other YA story of deeply felt teen alienation, be it by new authors like Castellucci, or classic ones like S.E. Hinton. That it takes place in an Alien Nation just cranks it up a few notches."
