A co-worker returned from vacation raving about this book. He'd borrowed it from another co-worker. While genuinely surprised to find it was a young adult book, he was, nevertheless, looking forward to reading the remaining books in the series.
I, too, found the book enjoyable. The feeling is definitely "post-apocalyptic", but it has a fantasy feel about it, too. Sort of, Harry Potter meets Mad Max. While some may have concerns about the gruesome deaths of children, in context it can be a very empowering book for the pre-teen and early teen group. From an adult's perspective, it is imaginative enough to capture your interest and even keep you up in the wee hours to finish it off. It's a quick read, too, for those of you who want something entertaining to read on a flight.
