I've never been much good at describing the plots of books in a coherent manner. Okay, you know I'm just going to stop there. well they still behave like animals so no change there.ĪLAS! Something even more tragic is about to happen, and if the world ain't already dead, well it could just get even deader. Humanity has taken a giant leap backwards food resources have drastically dwindled, technology is next to nonexistent and humans have. Well, the story is set in the foreseeable flood-ridden future. If that's not example enough of excellent character selection I'm at lost as to what is. >Also, there's this really cool android that reminds me of a chirpier version of Master Chief from the Halo series. It was also wonderful how a torch wasn't promptly alighted to the seat of her trousers, causing her to become easily agitated by the potential suitor, because I was expecting either of the two things to happen. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that her strength and wisdom didn't peter out as soon a potential suitor came on to the scene.

In fact, dare I say it she has quite the perfect assemblage of emotions and personality.

> We have a female protagonist who ISN'T socially challenged (the Lord be praised!). > The writing is just right not dumbed down for the kiddies, nor too fancy and Elizabethan either. It's as though Roald Dahl's Great Automatic Grammatizator has materialised and is responsible for churning out half the disposable junk that's being published these days. I get that it is nigh impossible to create COMPLETELY unique characters and plots, but really there are too many identical twins in the modern world of literature. Also, the characters are always so samey and dumb it makes me want to hurl the book(s) across the room and perform a body-slam on top of it out of frustration. Not to undermine the creativity and talent of year-fours' or anything. I always get the sensation that I'm reading something written by a bunch of year-four students. And while it is true there are many apocalyptic/ dystopian books out there - none of them quite fitted my highly-strung brief.Īll too often I find Children's/YA fiction to be very poorly written.

This is the sort of apocalyptic read I have been hoping to cross paths with for quite some years. I had a strong suspicion that I would enjoy this book - and I really did! *places a gold star on personal achievements chart*
