To get started, I let the yeast do it's thing while I assembled the rest of my ingredients. (Most take at least twice as long in my experience.) The best part about this recipe is that it's easy and quick, especially for cinnamon rolls. Eating mini versions of regular food always has a way of making me feel just the littlest bit like a giant. Le Creme de la Crumb’s Mini Cinnamon Rolls may not seem like an obvious choice, but I disagree. While BOTM opted for cocktails when looking for a perfect food pairing - and to be fair, alcohol plays a more prominent role throughout the story - I went with the cinnamon rolls. In one instance, however, it makes an appearance surprisingly, cinnamon rolls show up in a pivotal scene, with the potential to change one of the character’s outcomes. Neuvel’s interview style leaves very little room for much description beyond the immediate action of the story, and so food is barely mentioned in Sleeping Giants. What is the robot’s purpose? Who left it here (and when)? Why are we finding it now? What should be done with it?
With every breakthrough, a new obstacle arises and questions remain. Together, the top secret team must decipher an unknown language and superior technology to determine how it works. Jumping from interview to interview, Neuvel weaves together a story of very dedicated (if not flawed) characters as they uncover and retrieve giant robot body parts across the globe. It was supposed to be The Martian (which I loved) meets World War Z, and Liberty’s description touted “action, science, adventure, romance, and intrigue,” so naturally I was excited to receive my copy. (Score!)Īnyway, I picked Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel, which was selected as an option for July by Liberty Hardy of Book Riot.
I joined the club towards the end of June, primarily because I like books but also because I love getting mail and they were doing a summer promotion, which meant discounted books plus sunglasses plus a must-have tote bag. I’m not on social media.Sleeping Giants was the first book I received as part of Book of the Month. And then another part of the giant robot is found.ĭan Livingston recommended this book to me:Īmazon rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars (4,050 reviews) Rose Franklin is leading the research team investigating the giant metal hand. Walking towards the glow, she suddenly falls through the soil and lands in a giant metal hand. She see a eerie turquoise light and gets off her bike to investigate. On her 11th birthday, Rose Franklin was riding her new bike in the woods near her house. Except, the prologue is written in conventional first person style. This book is written in the style of interviews with various people. I have ordered books two and three for future reading. I read the well printed and well bound trade paperback published by Del Rey Books in 2016 that I purchased new from Amazon.
Book number one of a three book science fiction series about giant robots.
