A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World

I was on a waiting list for this book for over a year with the library. I thought it would blow my mind. It didn't. It's a book about the end of the world - the apocalypse. You know the one - there is little food, people are savages trying to survive, innocents and animals get hurt the worst, you don't know who to trust, and everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Everything in this book is predictable based on what you have already learned about the end of the world. SPOILERS


A stranger is allowed to spend the day and night with a family alone on an island in the United Kingdom. They have survived just fine, but their father is too trusting. The guys lies and takes on the kids dogs. Furious the kid goes off in pursuit, but is not match for this post-apocalyptic world. Some people the kid meets can be trusted, others NOT. MORE SPOILERS


The boy is really a girl about to raped when she is rescused by the original bad guy and her long thought dead really kidnapped sister. Wow what a coincidence considering all the miles she traveled. Don't even get me started on what the two dogs go though.

All in all, I say: SKIP IT
