Psh seems like some of the commenters here either didn’t finish the book or missed really important points and statements… like the person saying the alternative food source was flawed.. the dad revealed he never was going to do that, he…

Well written story that has some truly creepy and original ideas. The main character is interesting and well-developed. I appreciated that the author took the time to give each family member a distinct personality including flaws, and…

One great thing about this book is it makes you think about what it would be like to be in Eli's position. Trapped under ground not being able to leave. Its a great read and i highly recommend it.
I had to do this book for a book report. I first was like, 'Oh, this book is going to be horrible.' But as I got into the book, it really was one of the best books I've read.

Ludicrous premise sets up a transparently didactic story about extreme abuse of power. The "alternative food source" would create more problems than it would solve, because it would consume more resources than it could produce, unless it…

The premise and themes of this book were great, and they kept me from putting the book down. But I was somewhat disappointed that there were so many great opportunities for some very thought-provoking writing that were just glossed over or…

When I first got this book from the library I read the first few pages and it didn't grab me. Two years later I read and finished the book. I was very surprised by how good it was. It kept me guessing until the very end. This book is one…
