chickencam Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I couldn't find a thread fro 'How I Live Now'. I was only 11 days late finishing this one. Didn't start it until October. An odd story, a bit rushed in some ways but maybe if it had been more detailed it would have lost some of it's impact. We all happily live in our modern world and hear so much about remote wars and unrest that have little impact on most of us on a day to day basis, that a story like this does make you think about what it would be like if the fabric of society were to break down. It gives an insight into how brutal himan nature can be and how little we know now about basic survival. I enjoyed this book but didn't feel particularly moved by it, or greatly enriched from having read it. A book written for teenagers with a farly short attention span i think. My ED was moved to tears by it, enjoyed the book but did feel that it lacked depth. She had just started to write a book herself and so far it is pretty gripping. Guess what it is about vampires Should we take bets on the next subject craze? First wizards now vampires what's next? I don't have October's choice and have read November's, so I may take a break and read something else while I look for the October book. I like to buy them in the charity shops.

Cinnamon Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Its HERE No one replied to my thread, so I am not sure that many read this book. All the links (or most of them anyhow) are on the Book Group sticky,if anyone else needs to look back at previous reads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
