(Suggest me a Book similar to) Station Eleven
I just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel , and it's living rent free in my brain.
It was such a powerful book in so many ways. I loved the way the different storylines and characters were tied together, some intricately and some just loosely, as well as the multiple perspectives, timelines, and storylines.
I believe it was originally suggested to me as a book similar to the TV show LOST(2004-2010) and it did satisfy that quite well.
Other books that I have read and enjoyed in a similar vein include:
- The Silo trilogy by High Howey ( Wool, Shift, and Dust)
- Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch (Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town)
- Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
- MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx & Crake, the Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)
Does anyone have any book suggestions for something similar I should look for?
Thanks!
You're viewing a single thread.
- One Day by David Nicholls because it uses overlapping narratives and different perspectives to tell one story
- The Dog Stars by Peter Heller because it uses a post apocalyptic backdrop to take you on an emotional journey with the characters
- This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud because its overlapping narratives over decades continually recolor events and motivations and outcomes
- Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin because its three protagonists have their own stories to tell, but they are intertwined and dependent. -Same Bed, Different Dreams by Ed Park because the complex story structure lends itself to a powerful emotional journey for the protagonist and the reader
Amazing list, thank you! I have not read any of these yet.
Oh you’re in for a treat! I love all these books
If I had to pick, I’d go with Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow first. It’s very accessible and very good
Same Bed, Different Dreams is a treat, but it can be a little confusing. Especially if you don’t have much context with the history of the Korean Peninsula
Noted, thank you!
I don't think I have any historical context of the Korean Peninsula, but I'm always willing to expand my knowledge. 💜
