I don't agree at all. It is, by far, the worst book I ever read.
ReplyDeleteFirst third of the book she's talking about how everyone in her family died as if it were nothing. So, what does she do when she figures out she isn't the last person on Earth? Aviods the guy. She doesn't ever confront him untill he is dieing.
Second third of the book. She is working very hard to save his life. She let's him stay in her house, she plays music for him and reads him books ect. After he gets better he tries to rape her.
Third third of the book. She is on the run from him. He is trying to hunt her down by forcing her out of the house, using her dog to sniff her out, and setting traps for her. He tries shooting her in the leg so he can drag her back to the house. Makes it almost impossible for her to get food. Basically, it's go to the store and get captured or starve to death. Finally, in the end she is able to steal the suit and leave HER valley forever.
Overall view. So, first third she did nothing but aviod him, second third she is working hard to save his life and third third she is on the run from him. Finally, she is forced to loose her home and everything she had to start a new life because of that guy(who, by the way, she worked so hard to save). Plus, the book would ramble on and on about boring stuff, like five pages about her and her farm animals. Also, I think this book is WAY to dark for 12 year olds.
