My Summary: Stephen was raised by his mother - a flighty socialite who has a new man in her bed every other week. Tired of living the life his mother has planned for him, Stephen finds freedom when he goes to visit his father in New Orleans. Over the course of the summer, Stephen's father teaches him a wide variety of survival skills; Stephen wishes he could remain with his father forever, but his mother wants him back. Then a series of hurricanes strikes, and Stephen and his father are left stranded. Content with waiting out the rest of the storms with his father, Stephen is horrified when strange men arrive at their little cottage and proceed to murder the only parent who ever cared what he wanted. Now, all alone in the swamps of New Orleans, Stephen must put into practice the skills his father taught him and survive the dangers of the city he used to call home. My Thoughts: This was a fairly short but enjoyable read. I liked the element of not-so-far-off dystopia, and the 'coming-of-age' theme blended with survival made for a good novel. In a way, it reminded me of Hatchet (you remember that book that every middle-schooler in North America will read before they graduate, right?). I really liked the survival elements of the novel, and the writing was very good. Stephen's resentment towards his mother was also very believable as well, making it easy for readers to relate to the character. I enjoyed the author's writing style as well: it was smooth and easy-to-follow, making it easy to finish the novel within a few hours. Final Thoughts: I recommend this book for any guys looking for a gritty, action-packed dystopian novel (and ladies as well!). Probably best for readers over the age of 14.

Jerry Celik jerrycelik — Have you ever read something that was so incredibly funny you thought it must just be "one of those days" When I read this book and the sequel "Drop Dead Gorgeous" that's exactly what I thought. I love books that make me laugh while telling a story that has a different main theme. Blair Mallory is a character that is so appealing that while I shook my head at some of her thought processes and attitudes I couldn't help but cheer for her. I laughed my way through both books in record time and would buy every additional book by Linda Howard with Blair as a main character without even reading the cover.
