Rated The Shell Collector 4/10
Maybe because I wrote them right after each other, but this book reminded me a bit about' The world according to Anna'. It is so clear the book wants to tell us a message and it is the same message as Gaarder's book: watch out, we are destroying the planet. But where the latter is at least magical and cute, this book has a thin and predictably corny plot. <br/><br/>The main character Maya Walsh is interviewing Ness Wilde, an superhot and single Elon Musk like type that comes from a family that has allegedly cashed in on oil and ruined the world while keeping the nicest beaches for themselves. But... it is really that way or is Wilde actually a nice guy? The ending is visible from a mile away, as is (spoiler alert!) the cheap sex and love story between the main characters. I expected a lot more from Howey this really lacks the mystery and deepness (pun intended haha) of Wool.
Rated Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders 10/10
