Gain Access To Juno Of Taris (Juno, #1) Narrated By Fleur Beale Disseminated As Pamphlet

Subjagation. Preventing the spread of knowledge, Destruction of books. Control.
A fabulous book aboutpeople living in a biosphere, for two hundred years, Or is ityears
So many questions,
Eleven year old Juno asks too many questions, which makes her a risk to a society clinging to their carefully manufactured lives.

This was my daughter's school book, and I devoured it!
Fleur Beale weaves a clever story about love, loss, and hairstyles, with enough friction to keep you guessing.
A thriller cunningly disguised as a YA dystopian book,
Sort of stumbled across this book due to it being on special, I had seen it in book stores before but never looked at it due to the cover, It just didn't appeal to me, It was a great book though and I read it in a matter of days, Set in the future Juno lives on an island covered by a large bubble to control the atmosphere kind of like in the Simpson movie and they are cut off from the rest of the world.
Their lives are controlled by a group of people who insist on such things as everyone shaving their hair, Interesting read. Pity books like these are not promoted more in NZ as they should be since it is written by an NZ author.
the end of the book is such a cliffhanger, I mean does the ship land or not do the people onboard the ship mean well, or not Answers people, Answers I honestly hate forcing myself to finish books I dont want to finish cause it slows me down from reading other stuff that may actually be worth my time, but sadly I had to finish it for English.
This was just real slow It gets better I guess but it doesnt change the fact that it was messy, predictable and flat out boring.
An amazing dystopia book. This book has a slow start but gets goo near the end, This is one of my new favourite books, Disappointed, thought it was going to be good, The way they solve the problem is so unfulfilling and boring, It's poorly executed and I wouldn't recommend, In this book there was only one part I enjoyed and it wasn't even that great Juno of Taris tells the story of Juno, a young girl living on an island named Taris.

Alright, it's not just her daily life but mostly, it is,

I enjoyed Juno of Taris, The worldbuilding is extremely well done, the writing is okay, and the characters are alright though my favourite ones didn't get much screen time.
I was most impressed by the fact that though there's isn't a hint of romance regarding Juno, our main character, the book still managed to captivate me.
Yeah, I know it's stupid, but I usually find it way easier to read books where there's at least a hint of romance.
Don't say anything.

While I don't regret spending what little free time I have these days reading Juno of Taris, some things still bother me.

First, the fact that most characters are not really developped, Every time we learnt more about a character, I thought 'hey, at last, we'll get to know a character', but I was always wrong, and after some time, I started feeling cheated.
Even Juno felt distant to me, most of the time, I guess it's only bothering when your main concern, reading

a novel, is the characters,
The ending also annoyed me, Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it it's very well written, and it's full of hope but it doesn't really feel like the ending of the first book in a series.
There are still MANY questions unanswered which is incredibly frustrating, by the way, but with so little action actually, . . there is some action, but it doesn't feel like action, . . , it doesn't really make me eager to read the next book, Though I know I will read it eventually, if only to see how/if the characters grow,

In summary: Juno of Taris is easy to read, it doesn't require much effort to get into, and it most likely won't make you cry your eyes out or pull out allnighter.
However, it really feels like you're reading someone's memories, which makes everything appear far away almost too far for you to really care.


God I hadn't realized this book was so old! At least I won't have to wait for the next one.
An Australian teen novel. Juno lives on Taris, an enclosed postapocalyptic island meant to protect its inhabitants from the dangers of Outside in perfect peace and harmony.
But the pressures of conformity and obedience also exact a priceone that unruly, rebellious Juno is unwilling to pay, This is not new ground reminds me of dystopias like The Giver, Fahrenheit, and even The Truman Show, but it's well done.
Juno is a lovable and appealing heroine, and her relationship with her peer group or "learning stratum" shows a strong character development.
The island gossip, always introduced with the phrase "Have you heard" is especially well done and gives an effect almost like a Greek chorus.
Found this book quite boring until the later chapters I thoroughly enjoyed this book by New Zealand author, Fleur Beale, It reminded me of Divergent Roth which I read and loved, The experimental colony of Taris follows many of the values of Abnegation in Divergent, But Beale's story is focused on a much tighter community, living in a much more hospitable land, although facing the limits of its capacity in several ways.
Taris is a community where much is proscribed and gutsy hero, Juno, finds many of the limitations almost unbearable, She suffers, not in silence, but to keep in harmony with her family, But as she grows through adolescence things get more complicated, The characters are well drawn and interesting, There is a pleasing lack of gender stereotyping for the most part, and some good male characters to appreciate, The story gradually reveals the hypocrisy at the foundations of the community and opens up a mystery to be solved, Not strong enough to be called a mystery as a whole, this dystopian world story is satisfying and, I am pleased to say, is followed by two sequels.
The sequels have much more appealing covers and I will be on the lookout for a better version of Juno if there is one available.
We have had this title foryears and it has not been borrowed as yet, I hope to change that this year, .
