review 1: I am a huge fan of dystopian, post apocalyptic novels. This is an easy, yet satisfying read. I liked the the food chain connection and in some ways it reminded me of The Windup Girl by Paolo Baxcigalupi (which if you haven't read you should stop what you are doing right now and start reading it!). The main character in this book lives outside, carries the burden of decisions made as a parent that he now regrets and hopes to change, and the novel is about that attempt. I was entertained, and that's really all I ask from a book. But, considering issues like the Monsanto Protection Act, Section 735 of H.R. 933 and block any other amendment or provision that would limit state or local elected officials from effectively governing food and agriculture at the local level, Genect... moreic modification , and other issues this story is also a window to the future gone bad.
review 2: Both utopian and dystopian at once, this book explores a post apocalyptic America we all hope could never exist. Much like The Road by Cormac McCarthy this story follows a father and child on a journey through what is left of the country. Winston's version has much more positivity and less darkness. Although there is a stretch in the middle where the main character is stuck for a while and I felt it went on too long. Otherwise I really enjoyed this book and the author's writing style. less
