Massive

Product Information

Interestingly, the title of the book is the same as the title of a mega-corporation inside the book. Wild Massive is a media conglomerate, like Disney on steroids and ‘shrooms. It’s mascot is Helpless the Bunny, whose origins are as an addict. Wild Massive creates and runs the amusement parks but also a centuries spanning intermedia series, Storm and Desire. The corporation controls a number of media outlets that serve their purpose, including the themes and rides in their amusement parks. Moore doesn’t just indict government’s influence on media; he’s concerned with corporate influence as well. How do the storyboards in writer’s rooms affect us? As Moore is also a playwright, I bet he has a bit to say about economies of scale and the effects on storytelling. Massive corporations have much more reach and much more influence than local theaters and independent publishers. Does society value these big corporate stories more? Or are they just exposed to them due to good marketing? Are the media tie-ins at amusement parks, the internet, or wherever distracting us from more intimate tales? Welcome to the Building, an infinitely tall skyscraper in the center of the multiverse, where any floor could contain a sprawling desert oasis, a cyanide rain forest, or an entire world. This book was a hard read, and the only reason I finished it was because I had nothing else to do today and it was the only book I had on hand. If you have to have your plane jane of a protagonist bully some girl whose heavier than her than maybe you need a new plot and a new character because NOBODY like a bully. The building where Wild Massive is set reminds me of the Dark Tower, created by Stephen King and the tower of Babel from the Books of Babel by Josiah Bancroft. Floors contain various worlds, realities, civilizations, species, etc. In the Dark Tower, King said that the tower floors were different levels of reality. Wild Massive isn’t organized at all. The floors of Bancroft’s Babel have differing cultures and various functions. It’s also part attraction for the people in his world. This is similar to Wild Massive’s tower; Moore’s tower shapes reality and contains it. If it can be imagined, it’s probably in the building.

In light of current professional views of alcoholism, is the Big Book still appropriate in understanding the nature of the alcoholism and/or other addictive behaviours?

We found a company, Bella Becho Book and Print Bindery, that specialised in restoring old books and bibles. Everything had to be done by hand. We used the largest standard book board we could find. It had to be pieced together in overlapping layers to fit the size we needed. In a Tokyo suburb a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat. Soon he finds himself looking for his wife as well in a netherworld that lies beneath the placid surface of Tokyo. As these searches intersect, Okada encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists: a psychic prostitute; a malevolent yet mediagenic politician; a cheerfully morbid sixteen-year-old-girl; and an aging war veteran who has been permanently changed by the hideous things he witnessed during Japan’s forgotten campaign in Manchuria.” (Goodreads) Villette by Charlotte BrontË Thaks a million to Goodreads Giveaways and Tor Publishing for providing me with an Uncorrected ARC of 'Wild Massive', by Scotto Moore, that should be hitting the shelves on February 7th, 2023.*

It is not until she can't get into a size 10 that she develops bullimia, this is not fat and it doesn't fit with the amount she is eating. i might be over reacting with this, but it really annoyed me. If you are looking for a slow and thoughtful read, this book might not be for you, but if you know what you're getting into and just want to see where the world takes you: enjoy the ride! Wild Massive is a very accurate title for the latest book by Scotto Moore. Just wrapping your mind around the world it's set in takes some doing. Wild Massive takes place inside a Multiverse spanning building. Each world takes up a single floor and there are elevators that traverse the hundreds of thousands of floors. The title of the book comes from a series of theme parks that can take up entire floors of the building. The story itself is a bit tongue in cheek and felt a bit like the tone of a Terry Pratchett novel and it has elements of sci-fi and fantasy with mind bending tech, psionic warriors, and shape shifting wizards. Accompanied by an absolutely amazing narrator for this audiobook there are a lot of great things to enjoy about Wild Massive. First I want to thank NetGalley and RB Media for providing me with an advance copy of this Audiobook. Wild Massive by Scotto Moore describes the lives of the inhabitants of a reality-warping building that may actually contain all of reality, except for the bits outside. Follow Carissa as she navigates increasingly difficult obstacles on her journey to live a peaceful, secluded life in her elevator. Thrill as a species of shapeshifting creatures fight for their freedom against the tyrannical building association. Enjoy a book that defies description. Highly recommended.

I really did not enjoy this. Really. I'd previously read a really amazing ED book ('Monkey Taming' by Judith Fathallah) so was interested in trying out more of the same genre. But the book is barely about Carmen's dieting or ED, it's mostly about her cruel, crazy mother and the crap drama Carmen goes through. Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn’t be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay.Disclaimer: The publisher provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Any and all opinions that follow are mine alone. The giant book, I Am Texas, measures an astonishing 7 feet tall and 11 feet wide (2.1 metres tall and 3.3 metres wide) and weighs 496 pounds (224.9 kg). Carissa lives in an elevator. She doesn't stay there for long in the book, instead spending most of her time stepping onto different floors (any size from entire planets to a single room) and taking on the massive Association alongside a Shai-Manak shapeshifter.
