A bleak vision of the future, but very well done. The girl's race for survival & mission to protect the last remnants of animals that survive is action-packed yet with a lot of thought put into what the world may become.

This was a whim purchase, I did not know the author well save for a short story I had read and liked. She has a fine way of describing the scenery, this is a very readable novel. It's science fiction, but that's really just a backdrop to good storytelling. You could read it as a narrative of a girl's resilience against hopelessness. I like how the lack of specifics on what happened to the world adds to the mystery of the story. A good use of suspence for the reader. Enjoy!

A glimpse into the future. That is what I thought of this book. The way things are going, this is what's going to happen with the world. The wild animals won't be able to survive. I would be so sad if there weren't any animals. I hope something changes or this book could be the present instead of the future.
