Best Dystopias (116) Top Five Books of 2014 (361) » 10 lisää Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. DNF at 48%. It bored me. I had to force myself to finish it, such a shame :/ Because the events and the writing are quite surreal, and there are aspects of the story that don't quite make sense, I spent a lot of the time wondering whether Daisy was a reliable narrator. (She is) Even though it is set in the future, the novel has a Kids Evacuated to the Country in WWII feel to it. Contemporary technologies such as mobile phones and emails exist, but none of them work because of the war. I found the abrupt transition into Part 2 unsettling and thought it jarred with the flow of the story. For me, in the overall, Part 2 didn't work as well. But it's definitely original and memorable and I enjoyed the writing very much. So 4 stars. I am not a fan of incest

Idyllic love story abruptly becomes horrific survival tale when an unnamed enemy power invades the country. A captivating and deeply satisfying first novel. Review 9/04. "How I Live Now."

"It's also a story about hate, which is why I left New York in the first place. You don't fly halfway across the world to live with a bunch of people you never met, just for a laugh.
"I guess if I'd known where it was all going to lead, I might have thought twice about stepping onto that plane. I might have worried a little more about Edmond being my cousin.
"And me being 15.
"But I didn't. And in the end, those things didn't matter as much as you think they would.
"In the end, the world had bigger things to worry about than us."
