After seeing the newly released movie adaptation of this book, I was intrigued. I finished it a few days ago in one sitting, because it's a short and easy read, and I just adored it. Rosoff's writing is by all means simple and such an elegant flow of story. If you are a reader who needs everything 'by the book' then you might not like the many run on sentences in this novel or the structuring of her paragraphs. If you are like me and have come to realize that some of the best, most rewarding reads are those that break the rules, then you might just like it. Her writing works so well for the story, the characters and gives it all a nice freshness. 
 I'm a sucker for good post apocalyptic stories partly because I worry a lot about the future. Yet it didn't focus as much on the dystopian part and was instead just set in it. It focused more on the relationships with the characters and you got to see how the world they lived in impacted them. They are the types of characters that I would have loved to have met in person. 
 Looking forward to the film now.
