Book Reviews of Unwelcome Bodies
Book Review: Powerful, clear and compelling writing.
Summary: 5 Stars
UNWELCOME BODIES is the perfect blend of science fiction and horror, a walk through futures alternately beautiful and hideous, with characters we can see, hear and yes, touch. Pelland's clear, concise style draws us in without distraction and twists on a single note. Much like its striking white cover, this collection is something far different than the usual fare. I will definitely be looking for more of Pelland's work in the future.

Book Review: Should be a Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing book! It's social relevant and very interesting, exploring both science fiction and humanity. If English classes read books like this more kids would be true reading die hards.
Pelland speculates about the future and cuts to the core of the human soul with a collection of story that should be required reading.
Book Review: Worthwhile Collection
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the author's primary motifs is isolated environments. One of her primary themes is isolated souls. She handles both of these very well over the course of this collection. Whether looking at college-age and twentysomethings discovering the depths of their strange new worlds, or limning hopeful-but-precarious connections in desperate futures, the stories are generally very involving. "Captive Girl" fully earns its acclaim, and several other pieces here aren't too far behind.
