I finally read this book. For the past year I have been stuck on cheesy romance novels, eventually that was going to have to change. This book was a little slow in the first chapter. The story is told through multiple perspectives and at multiple dates in time, but the first chapter is an introduction and sets a very simple plot line. The book can get confusing at first but once you're past that first chapter your home free. So here is a tip of advice: Don't stop reading because the first chapter is bad!!
Once the story of the New War starts up and you get into the different perspectives of the different contributers of the war the book picks up the pace. Once you get to this part you see what a phenominal writer Daniel Wilson is. He can write in so many different perspectives. In the book you have chapters narrated by little girls, adult women, old men, even robots. This just shows of how well he can actually write. Once I started the good part of the book I couldn't put it down. This book really pays off in the long run. Not only did I enjoy the writing but it turned a rom-com chick into a sci-fi geek. I couldn't get enough of it. Usually sci-fi is a little to weird and out there for me but not this. Not only does this book have great voice and a believable futuristic setting but it also deals with our current environmental issues, it is mentioned throughout the entire book and it really hits home how badly we take care of our world, and makes you want to do something to change that.
When I finally put this book down after hours and hours of reading I said that I felt like I had just finished reading a really interesting, scary history textbook. The way the story is written and the fact that it incorporates things that we would daily use is what makes this book so real. I seriously was scared of cars for a week and didn't want my brother to play with his mechanical toys because I thought that robots were going to attack us. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, it is truly one of the best books I have read in a while.
