Rendition In Favor Of Books How I Live Now

"Every war has turning points and every person too."

Fifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to visit her aunt and cousins she's never met: three boys near her age, and their little sister. Her aunt goes away on business soon after Daisy arrives. The next day bombs go off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy.

As power fails, and systems fail, the farm becomes more isolated. Despite the war, it's a kind of Eden, with no adults in charge and no rules, a place where Daisy's uncanny bond with her cousins grows into something rare and extraordinary. But the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her cousins must lead each other into a world that is unknown in the scariest, most elemental way.

A riveting and astonishing story.

Judge Based On Books How I Live Now

I'm not entirely sure how I felt about this. Let me begin by saying that I watched the movie first, several years ago, and somewhat enjoyed it but definitely wouldn't call it a favorite. The book is somewhat in a similar position, but I have to admit that for the most part, I enjoyed the movie more."There were thousands of stories just like this one, and mostly they didn't end happily." The Writing and Worldbuilding I was not a huge fan of the weird to quote or not to quote situation with the

I spent a while considering how I would rate this book, but finally decided on a full 5/5 rating, and here's why:It troubles me greatly that so many readers can't see past the unconventional relationship between our protagonist and her cousin, because it so wholly isn't what the book is about. That's the only real downfall of "How I live Now"--unfortunately, Meg Rosoff seemed to target her book towards an audience too immature to realize that this novel is a novel about SURVIVAL. It's a novel

This book is one of my favorites. I love Rosoff's simple writing, which has a massive effect on the book.Another reviewer wrote how the story is not - which would be the obvious assumption - about the love between Daisy and Edmond. It's about survival and how people come together in unexpected ways caused by the circumstances. I agree.I think I gasped out loud when I realized I was on the second last page of the book. "How I Live Now" is beautiful in its simplicity and it's one that sticks with

This book took a while to get into, but once you get used to the writing style it's really captivating and wonderful.

*4.5*THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. It's so weird to be saying that now, since for the past 6 years or so I've been convinced that I hated it. I couldn't even finish it the first time I tried to read it, which is ridiculous to me now! However, I can understand why. The writing style is very stream-of-consciousness, and there are no quotation marks around dialogue, which can be a little strange for readers. But since the first time I tried to read How I Live Now, I've read hundreds more books, and

What a weird little book! Granted, I am into weird, but "How I Live Now" just wasn't my kind of weird I guess.There were many things I liked about the story - the fact that it didn't fit in any genre (it started as a story of an anorexic girl, then morphed into some kind of dystopia and then became a survival story), I liked Daisy's voice - snarky and witty with a healthy dose of unreasonableness and selfishness, the portrayal of war was gritty, and Daisy's personal struggle with weight was
