BOOK REVIEW: Purple Rocks by Marcelle Liemant
Hey everyone! I've now got a 7-week mid-year break from uni and I'll be spending that time finishing my novel (which I hope will be an orgasm of awesomeness!) But when I'm not writing 5,000 words a day, I'll be reading as many books as I can from self-published indie authors along with books on my bookshelf that I bought because it was super-duper cheap!
PURPLE ROCKS by Marcelle Liemant
I read Purple Rocks by Marcelle Liemant (possibly related to Marcellus Wallace?) today. It's a great short story about people who take these drug thingies called 'Purple Rocks'. Since it's an incredibly short story, I don't want to say much more about it without spoiling the whole thing.
When reading a dystopian story, you have to ask yourself this: Would I want to actually live in the world that I'm reading?
I definitely don't want to live in the Purple Rocks world. And that's the mark of a great dystopian story.
Since it's a short story, there's so much more to explore and I hope Marcelle Liemant gives us more because if this was expanded into a much longer story, I have no doubt it'd be a masterpiece.
Marcelle is a great writer and I really do look forward to whatever she has coming out next. So if you want a taste of her writing, go grab a copy of Purple Rocks and let it rock your world so much that you'll beg for more of Purple Rocks!
You should also check out her website: http://marcelleliemant.com
It's really fantastic. There are lots and lots of great articles on 'creativity' and the power of the brain, subconscious, etc. -- basically, if you're a writer, you really need to stop by and read them.
