MY REVIEW:
Opel wakes up without any memory of how
she got there in a post-apocalyptic, post nuclear fall out world.
This is a well-written and fast paced book. There is a lot happening
in this book and it jumps around through different characters' points
of views and plot points. I had a hard time at first keeping up
because the story was moving so fast but towards the middle things
started getting really exciting and I was enjoying it more. 4 stars.
Blurb: In a dark and desolated After Earth, love still does exist, but the cost of bearing such a flaw is death.
World War III has left Earth in utter turmoil. People’s beliefs are said to be the cause of the worldwide destruction. After The Clearing new laws are set about - to show certitude in anything besides the law is weak and chargeable as mutiny. To be illogical and have faith in religion is illegal, to be limitless is dangerous. And Illness is seen as a defect – all flaws that are inexcusable.
But to love is the greatest betrayal of all mankind. It is a fault the world has long forgotten and punishable by death, a fatal risk Aecker and Opel are fully prepared to take - because in love there is freedom. But how far can they push back before it claims their lives and of those they care about?
