1. Downward to the Earth by Robert Silverberg
Loved the vivid descriptions of gross alien creatures. I predicted the big twist halfway through. Poor ending but a good story.
3.75/5
2. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula k. Le Guin
For an early fantasy novel, I didn't expect it to be so unique. No kings and dark lords. I'll definitely read the other novels in the series. 4.00/5
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin was the last book of 2025. I'm one of the weird ones who read 'We' before reading '1984'. I might not read 1984. Idk why, maybe only because it's too popular, I feel like I won't like it.
We had an interesting concept, a good story and a sad ending. D503, a citizen of the One State becomes ill with the 'Soul sickness'. He falls for a rebel. Sometimes, it felt as though D-503 was trying to brainwash me or smth. Good read.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
This is one of THOSE books that you know are going to stay with you forever even as you read them. It takes place years after an apocalypse and follows a father and a son as they trudge through a gray and merciless world. They can't trust anybody except each other. This book tells you what it means to be a father and about the dark truth of human nature. Sometimes I almost stopped because it was a little too bleak. But I'm glad I didn't.
