I think this book would be slightly better if it was a little more optimistic, but there is such a lot of negative views, it is hard to keep reading at points. It is the chilling tale of a nuclear holocaust aftermath, that goes from tregedy to tragedy. Allthough if you feel you could use a reality check this book is for you. Very powerful and grim. Excellant read. Try to think positive.

My grade 9 English teacher read this aloud in class to us and I always remembered it. I bought it recently and enjoyed it this time around. 14 years later. It reminded me of Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

I feel that this is an excellant piece telling the story of a town caught in a nuclear holocaust. I read this story for an english assignment but I liked this book so much I read it again and again.

I read this in highschool and it really has always remained with me ever since. A story of nuclear war and its aftermath. A required reading for this day and age with so much happening in our world.

Brother in the Land was part of our english class last year...but it really made me thoughtful and I enjoyed reading it. I can only recommend it to everyone.

I really enjoyed this book and recomend it to all ages. The end makes you think about what would actually happen in that situation. The only thing i would say was the new last chapter spoilt it a bit. If you get a copy with it in don't read it. It just quickly makes everything better like in fairytales, by reading the last chapter it makes it seem unreal. I think the writer has really thought about how he has written this book and you can see the reality. Everyone fending for themselves. Its either you or them. I read this book in 2 days and it stays with you.
