Reader Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars)
This powerfully thought-provoking novel demonstrates one of the reasons why I love reading so much: it made me see the world in a whole new light. What would the world be like if suddenly, all of the water taps ran dry? You’ll never take water for granted again after reading this book!
Language: 6/10 (Occasional swearing).
Sex: 8/10 (Accurate descriptions of reality in a tasteful manner).
Violence and Gore: 7/10 (Violence or gore is occasional, and never detailed or distasteful).
Plot: 9/10 (Absolutely incredible. Definitely worth purchasing and reading again!)
Characters: 7/10 (All characters were unique and interesting, but one particular character seemed very flat, though I think that was done on purpose.)
Writing Style: 8.5/10 (Neal Shusterman is one of the most talented authors of our generation! It was interesting to see how his style adapted when combined with his son’s.)
Genre: Young adult literature, adult literature, realistic fiction, apocalyptic fiction
Is this book a series? No.
Potential triggers: Fire, rioting, near rape, etc.
The youngest age I would recommend this book to a person would be 12+.
