It was misplace and, ugh, gag. The end.<br /><br />But, moving on, I didn't LOVE it but I really liked that the book was so rooted in something realistic. It was bleak, but it was honest. I'll probably check out the next book, but fingers crossed there's no more graphic skinning of animals.Steph (Poetry to Prose)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14747170006709274911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704068707505574570.post-26048195255751172422012-04-12T07:53:32.403-05:002012-04-12T07:53:32.403-05:00I loved this one too!

It was surprising because I didn't really like writing style, all the little details that the author felt the need to include, like the skinning of the rabbits and going to the bathroom and whatnot. But I ended up really being taken with Alex's story.<br /><br />As for the supervolcano, from what I understand from professors and readings, it is highly improbable that it will explode in our lifetimes, though possible. I don't know, I'm not too worried about it...

I just saw that damn end of the world movie, 2012, over the weekend and this made me instantly think of it (and Woody Harrelson! lol) Anywho, this setting and situation sounds terrifying!Smash Attack Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459323734201391878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704068707505574570.post-6319555387138571072012-04-11T19:41:52.094-05:002012-04-11T19:41:52.094-05:00Getting book bullied now, are you?

I watch Discovery Channel way too much to not know about this one.<br />I have never seen a bad review of this novel. That your only conflicting review is too much detail on skinning an animal tells me a lot!! I might skim that part! LOL<br /><br />Great review!Still making me want to read it!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.com
