Large monoliths that have been placed at various locations across the earth sounds adventurous. Thanks for the enlightening review.

From the review, this book sounds very interesting and I think fans of science fiction will have a great time with it.

A post-apocalyptic tale revolving around two young boys trying to survive in a verdant Earth sounds exciting. I love such tales, but I dislike cliffhangers. Have you got around to reading the other two books? The premise sounds compelling. I like a good world building and a divers cast. That it was well written adds to the appeal. Thank you for the review!

I am glad you enjoyed this story which appears more like a fantasy or sci-fi. I would as well want to know more about these strange blocks. Thanks for a wonderful review.

I like this genre but the book itself doesn't grab my attention.

This was an enjoyable awesome read for me and I feel that this review did the book justice, thanks for the incredible review. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars and I will definitely never look at blocks the same way, ever.

I'm not really a fan of post apocalyptic stories but based on your review this sounds like something I'm willing to try. Thanks for your review.

I think this is a book right up my alley. It looks like this will have the action I look for in a book. With the Earthlings coming home after being gone for so long, I wonder how those planet-side will react to them. Congrats on the #BOTD

This looks like an interesting book. I can't imagine a crew of voyagers retuning from a spacecraft to earth after a century. Thanks for the great review!

Science fiction books of late have become part of me. Blocks by Tara Basi sounds interesting, a story of several people trying to solve the mystery of large monoliths that have been placed in various locations on the Earth's surface. Great review.

Wow! Your review is certainly a strong recommendation for this book. Although I'm not a science fiction fan, your obvious enthusiasm and glowing praise make me curious. Perhaps I'll try this one. Many thanks for the review.

Amazing review! I definitely am interested in reading Blocks The part of the book that really piques my interest is that a crew have been away from Earth, and they will be in for the shock of their life when they return! I like that the author provides various perspectives, enabling the reader to get to know each of the characters. Looking forward to reading this book, and YOUR books!
