Hey guys! I'm looking for new books and i just love books with a unique format. Can be plot, writing style or even cover. My most unique reads were battle royale and horrostor. What are yours? Edit: just remember invisible monsters by Chuck Palanhiuk! Another unique book.

Station eleven had a really unique format. You could say there were multiple main characters from different timelines but I would almost argue there was not a "main" character. All of them were super fascinating in their own right and the transitions between them, and their timelines, was incredibly smooth. I didn't find it confusing at all and I normally do with books formatted like this.

It's a post pandemic dystopia that focuses on the role of art in helping people find purpose if you want the shortest possible synopsis.

    I read Station Eleven as a blind date book from the library. I really liked it a lot more than I expected to.

    Edit: literally just found the book date description 30 minutes later. This is all I knew going into the book:

    Genre: Post apocalyptic sci-fi

    Description: A Hollywood Star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors

    Okay but thats pretty spot on. Wouldn't exactly call it sci-fi though

    Yeah, I agree it’s not really scifi, that was just the libraries description.

    Spoiler on plot (minor)Maybe it was the whole thing about everyone dying of a mysterious illness that made them put scifi.

    But it was a really good book
