Romanzo di formazione distopico e avvincente, tema attuale, pure troppo. Buone le riflessioni sulla società e sul modello capitalista, sulle relazioni umane, sulle contingenze che le influenzano e, in definitiva, sul bene e sul male. Belli i personaggi e bella la loro evoluzione, finale lieto ma non stucchevole
3⭐ e 1/2

If this book doesn't make you want to ration your water usage and create a bug-out shelter of your own, then I don't know what will!

Good YA thriller with a cast of characters like The Breakfast Club who have to face a realistic manmade catastrophe of a city of people facing a world without water.

I liked this and it was not a book to put down. I read it straight through without stopping. Within reason, of course.

Sometimes I wondered if the ability of the US to react to help the LA area was discounted for effect. I know that the country has a spotty record helping during disasters, but it seemed that there would be more that the federal government could do if this situation truly happened. Now, the book worked and worked well so kudos to the author for handling those questions during the book.
I’m going to look for more by him.

Igual de bueno que la primera vez.

Ritmo excelente, personajes muy bien creados, trama a 4-5 o más voces, una historia que atrapa y que es una espiral que te sumergue hacía un climax final muy bien conseguido y un gran trabajo de documentación a nivel biológico y sociológico.

Un 5 de 5

What a read!! I was suggested this by a middle schooler, and I'm impressed he digested it! What a real, heavy story. Twists and turns all over, it really kept me captivated. I can really tell that scientists were consulted, it is clear that considerable work was put into this book and what would happen in this circumstance. The ending, absolutely amazing. When I say I didn't see it coming, that is and understatement. The story kept me hooked the entire time.

I am usually not a fan of multiple narrators. It is one of the few things in lit that I really hate reading. But this book seemed to do that well! It played with perspective, and put together pieces of the story in a new and original way.
