post-apocalyptic fiction

4 1/2 Hearts! This fabulous young adult novel kept my attention from opening line to the end. I found it very suspenseful and surprisingly unpredictable. Carrie Ryan offers a fresh and unique new voice to the growing young adult market, My 11 yr old son read this book along with me and found it equally as good.

Copied Blurb:

I've never read a Cormac McCarthy novel.  I was at the library, fifteen minutes before closing time, and I couldn't find a single book in all of the trade paperback section to take with me.  Finally my eyes settled upon The Road and I grabbed it instantly.

A post-apocalyptic novel. It took me a while to get into this one, and then just about the time I was really starting to enjoy it, it ended…and I really didn’t like the way it ended. The science/ideas behind the novel were pretty interesting, however, so if you like sci-fi, this one’s probably worth your effort.
