Tomorrow, When the War Began
Basically I like books that follow the principals of Lord of the Flies, where a group of people are stranded somewhere with no form of authority governing themselves. The theme is seen throughout most of my favorite books, like Ender's Game, Ringworld, and Destiny's Road, except those are set in the future.
Tomorrow, When the War Began, is an Australian book documenting the lives of some Australian teens who were out camping when a country invaded Australia. They have to fend for themselves, and combat the military that has either captured of killed their families and the rest of the people in their town. It is a really good read, and evokes the question "what would I do in that situation".
Please post your favorite books, because I am in need of a good one.
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?
Yeah, well I saw the lord of the flies movie, and my favourite character was the fat kid! He told the best stories and it was funny when he got squashed.
I couldn't get into the His Dark Materials books, but I like the Hitchhikers Guide series, Of Mice and Men, Tomorrow When the War Began (that would make SUCH a good game!), anything by Ray Bradbury, anything by Avi, and Dreamcatcher.
