How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
3.0

I couldn't really get into the book, mostly for the stream of conscious writing style. The lack of quotation marks certainly contributed to that, but I got used to it by the end. They made it a little more difficult to keep up with the action for the first half of the story, though.

Other than that it was predictable and pretty much what I expected. I enjoyed the read and would suggest it to others who like YA survivalist/war stories- provided they don't mind the incest. The relationship between Daisy and Edmond was a touch on the weird side for me, but it worked in the book.

All in all, three out of five stars and worth the ride.
