A good "end of the world as we know it" story as seen through a 16 year-old's eyes. You have to feel the family's distress over the decisions they are constantly faced with.
Sending off to a fellow Bookcrosser - enjoy!

An easy and enjoyable read, and the author did a very convincing job of being inside a 16 year old's head. The premise was good, and once you accept the original event all else was more or less believable. The slow ride downhill made for good character development. I thought there were a couple of places where a 'message' was rather too obvious, but overall a great ya novel; well constructed, reasonably well written and a believable cast.

An absolutely compelling read; scarily believable. Having recently seen the movie 'Melancholia' I can happily say it was nothing like that, although I couldn't help drawing comparisons.
I also couldn't help but think that the ending was a let down. Having said that, I can't say more without introducing 'spoilers'.
