halberti 's review for:

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff

3.0

---

I thought this book was a little bit strange. I didn't like Daisy's run-on sentences. The war plot was unexpected and unusual. Also, at first I was very confused as to what war it was. WWI, WWII? Cold War? What?? Later I finally went on Wikipedia and read "..fictional war..", Oh. The romance and underage sex (?!) between Daisy and Edmond was the weirdest bit, although it was a very main aspect of the story. What I did like was the British coolness and sibling telepathy. I liked reading about what Daisy and Piper would eat and how they would survive. It could be pretty intense and emotional. The last part, of 6 or so years later, when Daisy goes back to England again, her real home, was good too. But overall, I thought Rosoff's What I Was was better. :)
