review 1: FYI book is called H2O in the U.S. Amazing book love how miss popular friends dork. I like how the endings a cliff hanger because she's waiting for her dad. I hate how Darius and back stabbing saskia are 'engaged' whatever that means. (Cuz saskia said they weren't really) but I hate hate hate that the ending is a made up story of what she wished happened and then a small small parragraph of reality that she hates Darius now and only wants to c him cuz he has all her stuff and her cell phone. I'm like hello? What about the kiss? The surviving together? The friendship? Maybe it was the 'engagement' plus I would really like to know what happened to Princess and (maybe Darling cuz Princess always has her with her) over all great story.
review 2: It was refreshing t... moreo read a novel in which I didn't particularly like the main character. Ruby is a snob, a queen bee, a popular girl who disdains those she doesn't have time for: nerds, her step-father, anyone who might rub her the wrong way. She's focused on looking good--make up, beautiful hair, The Right Boy on her arm.But the world changes. Disease spreads epidemically through rain. People die all around her. By sheer chance, and the wits of a few adults around her, Ruby survives. She's left quite ill-equipped to survive in a world where brains and skills are immensely important.She focuses on odd things--looting designer clothes, stealing make-up, doing her hair and face--especially after she's left essentially alone. But there are signs of break-throughs--she at least tries to save neighborhood pets, and teams up with a nerdy boy from school in order to save a protect a young mute girl who's latched herself onto them.The choices Ruby made before the world-wide destruction certainly color her ability to cope afterwards. She's basically a goner. Unless she can wake herself up and grow up.I'm ready for the next book! less
