The characters weren't really human enough for me to connect to, they seemed more like cardboard cut outs than people. The setting was a cool idea but not utilised enough or explored in a properly meaningful way. The story was also pretty boring.
I have no idea why they picked this of all things to analyse in school.
I was pretty harsh but I genuinely feel nothing towards this book other than a vague distaste. Maybe its just me but I wouldn't recommend it.

A great book, with some very clever ideas. I just wish it were longer :)

For a young adult novel this was not bad. I think it would be a good introduction to the apocalyptic genre for a young reader.
