This was one of my major bugbears with the book!StephenKingman wrote:...i didnt actually know which character was talking! A very good study of a small society broken down but not particularly memorable..

The movies seem to think so don't they? You only have to look at the Mad Max films for savagery, and Waterworld to some extent.Gannon wrote:Love it, one of my favourite books. I love how the children fall into the two groups, one trying to create a civilised state and the other totally barbaric and reverting to basic instinct and savagery. It raises questions about ourselves as a species, do all of us have this basic savage instinct in us and what would happen if society failed,say after a war.

I read it in high school and I didn't really like it at all! The story line was good in how it showed no matter a persons age, when survival kicks in and greed to be on top rules, how fast the situation can decline from something bad to somesomething something even worse. I might reread it to see if my outlook has changed any.
