Review
This book caught me by surprice. Already on the first page you get thrown into the action and your thoughts starts to fly around.
This is a well-written book that awakens thoughts and feelings of the reader. You follow the story from two different directions. You get to follow 4 youngsters who live in a bunker and fight for their survival when the outside world slowly disappears. And then you also follow a bunch of young people who live 100 years in the future and their struggle for survival despite the influence of the past.
I really liked this concept, that the things we do today can be discovered and interpreted in the future and shape how they see the world. A perfect book to buddy read and discuss if you want to do that.
