christymaurer 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
The characters and events were so vividly written, I felt like I was watching a movie. An interesting angle on a future apocalyptic atmosphere, N v S, but this time it's because global warming has drastically changed the landscape, and fossil fuels are banned. i really liked the racial ambiguity of the characters. That gave it a totally different tone. There were a few things that were never fully explained - the Bouazizi kingdom and their involvement, and the prologue, why?- but I guess it wasn't really about that, so it was kept to a minimum? And I would have liked to have just a little more info as to the impact of the ending.
