How I Live Now By Meg Rosoff I give How I Live Now 4½ stars out of five. I give this book this rating due to how I think the author explained Daisy’s feelings well. I think that many authors can do this but Meg Rosoff did this better than any that I know. It was very realistic which was good seeing...
A few years ago, I went through a phase where I was only reading dystopias. I burned myself out quickly because a lot of the books felt like clones. It seemed like I was just reading the same book over and over. I don’t know how I missed How I Live Now during my dystopia phase. It would have broke...
I almost put this down, the writing is so strange in the beginning. But I'm really glad I didn't. I've never read anything else like this. It's so simple and beautiful... I loved it. Completely.My full review is here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.

Saw the movie, came back home, went to Amazon, bought this book.I must say I read the book because I loved the movie. Not the other way around. A very high bar was doomed to be overcame. They are nothing alike, the movie is more thrilling, the book is more touching, but I recommend you to watch it, ...

I didn't care about the characters, the plot or the writing.To start with the worst first:The writing annoyed me so much! It's entirely written from Daisy's POV and there's no dialogue in the book at al...
3 to 3.5 Stars First thought after finishing the book: Boy, this book was weird.Second thought: What a weird book.Third thought: So freaking weird.Skipping my next fifty thoughts let me try to actually talk about something other than the weirdness of this book.How I Live Now is essentially a surviva...
I don't care if you're an amateur or a professional writer - you are NEVER above using quotation marks!Yes, this award-winning book lacks quotation marks. It could also use some more commas, due to the frequent use of run-on sentences. I don't care if that counts as "voice". I don't care if it's tot...
Well written, and though the writing style takes some time to get used to it's very effective. I can't give the book any more stars because I simply could not stand Daisy. Also, the all-important love between Daisy and Edmond felt... not forced, but simply not shown enough before the more tragic eve...
