Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank
3.0
I read this book years ago for summer reading for school and I remember, at the time, not wanting to read it. Not just because summer reading always felt like a chore at that age but because the premise of it scared me.
Thankfully, the book itself is thoughtful and engrossing. Starts out kinda slow but picks up, and you remain engaged with it all the way through, wanting to know what happens to these characters and the world they now live in.
Not a book I would rec for anyone in a low mood because it's still heavy subject matter, but I remember liking it more than I thought I would.
