American War by Omar El Akkad
2.0

I was very excited when I heard about this book. I generally like dystopian novels set in the future that center on climate change or disaster. However, this book lacked depth. For all of the animosity between the feuding sides, there was barely any background as to why. I had to keep reminding myself what group was fighting with what side, it was frustrating at times. The book I felt meandered along, lacking in action, most of the book was taken up with boring dialogue. I would warn others not to waste their time.
