Either way, it’s just not a trope that’s for me. The main issue I had was that it was questionable whether the feelings between the two men were real or just a product of the alien bonding thing that was forced onto them by the scientists. But now for the actual review…Įven though I gave this 3.5 stars, I think this could easily rate higher for some people, depending on what you like. *I received a free ecopy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*įirst of all, I would like a pat on the back for the fact that I actually spelled that series name correctly without looking it up first. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The story is about their struggles of less food and how they get over it. But there wasn’t enough food for ten people. Richard tried to stop them but he couldn’t. And during that process, Gwen gets injured. Shaw and their son who’s also Scott’s friend rushes into the bomb shelter. Scott, and Scott’s mom Gwen, Richard, Janet the nanny and his brother Sparky who’s real name is Edward goes into the bomb shelter. The main character Scott’s dad Richard builds a bomb shelter even though he did not want to believe that the War is going to happen. This book is about a War and people who want to survive from the nuclear bomb. One of the main reasons for this is because in each chapter, the book goes back and forth to the present and past. It will make you want to read the next chapter. This book is an intense and an addicting book. So I recommend a book to you called Fallout by Todd Strasser. But there are books pull you into the story more than pictures. It is because pictures are more appealing than the words. But they do not actually think to read a book instead. People go on Instagram because they are bored. ![]() |
