My favorite book scene came from A Million Suns by Beth Revis
which is the sequel to her debut novel, Across the Universe.
which is the sequel to her debut novel, Across the Universe.
Because I can't reveal any spoilers (and you don't want to know this before you actually read it), I have to be very cryptic about what happens. My favorite scene happens in the middle of the book when Elder has put on a space suit and he goes outside of the ship through a hatch to check up on the ship's exterior. What he discovers while out there amongst the stars and space is so shocking and unbelievable, it made the book! Wow-wee-wow-wow! It's huge....
The excerpt:
I have spent the whole time facing the ship, looking back at the path we have taken. But now I see behind me, toward where the ship is facing. And I realize why Godspeed seemed to glow. This...I never expected this. How did Orion keep this secret? How could anyone keep this secret? It's--it's everything--it's--

What is your favorite novel scene from this year so far?
Ack! Now I really need to know what it is! Great job, Cathy, because I am DYING here.
ReplyDelete@Andrea: Ha ha! Now you really have to start reading this series....
DeleteOh man I really need to start this series!!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I've GOT to get on the stick and read Across the Universe so I can get to A Million Suns! Thanks for the teaser as well as the great scene! ;)
ReplyDeleteI just recently read ATU, so this makes me excited about reading AMS! He goes outside?!? AWESOME!!

Ohhh man that sounds so good!! I have to read this series now.
ReplyDeleteNew follower. :)
@Steph: It is really good! Thanks for following....
DeleteThis makes me want to drop everything and read AtU and AMS already! It sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteExcellent description without the spoiler. :) I just got my copy of Across the Universe. This is making me want to read it even sooner. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI started the first book but still haven't had a chance to pick it up again after I put it down. I really need another vacation to get through all the books I want to read. Can't wait to get to this scene and find out what it's about!
ReplyDelete@Lan: Yeah, it's pretty awesome. It's so hard to read everything!
DeleteHey Cathy, my RSS feed reader has taken a dump, so I've missed your last two posts! Thanks for sharing your favorite scene from Across the Universe (which has moved to the top of my TBR pile, BTW). I think my fav scene is when Four shares his fear landscape with Triss in Divergent. I thought that was so romantic!
ReplyDelete@Camille: Sorry to hear about your RSS reader. I hope it's back to normal!
DeleteI loved Divergent. That is a great book with a lot of fun scenes, especially all the leaping off fast moving trains. Crazy! Can't wait to read Insurgent.
