This book is excellent." - Min Reads and Reviews "A great start to a fantastic new dystopian series!

From the Author This book series grew out of one simple question: What if the end of civilized society isn't because of some huge war or catastrophe, but instead comes from the loss of one small thing: the dollar?I've loved delving into the world of Logan Pond, asking myself what if, what if, what if? Some of the answers are chilling, but some are also encouraging. I believe as Carrie does: The human spirit is resilient. People come through hard times better and stronger. And most importantly, love on every level can endure all.

I was scared, I was heartbroken, I was cold when it snowed, I was in pain when the main character was hurt, I missed my parents; but I also loved my neighbors, felt joy at new growth, and loved the sunshine. To me that means that this was an amazing book. At one point while reading, I actually stood up to put my light jacket on and go to work when I said to myself, "Oh this isn't a warm enough coat when it is snowing outside". It was 60 degrees at the time, but it was snowing in the book. That's how in thrall I was while reading.I loved the main character, Carrie. She was so good, loving, loyal, innocent and giving. I wish I was more like her. It made me wonder how I would react given the same circumstances. I will say that I'm still not sold on the main love interest - he is such a jerk at the beginning. I understand that he has gone through horrors in his life, but he is very cold-hearted at the beginning and I had a hard time getting over that.I found the whole premise of the book a little scary because it felt like something that could really happen. A lot of the dystopian/post-apocalyptic books I have read have dealt with things like a pandemic, nuclear holocaust, alien invasion... This one simply had the dollar fail. There was a run on the banks - the banks failed. The government took over in a drastic way. Yikes! Maybe that was one of the reasons it was so engrossing, because it felt like something that could really happen to me and my family. Anyway, this was a great book and I highly recommend it. Now we wait for book 2, entitled Liberty , and it is being released on the 4th of July. Pretty cool. And I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the final book in the trilogy will be called, The Pursuit of Happiness .Areas of concern:When I bought this book for our library, I thought it was a Young Adult novel. The book does begin with the main character being 17 years old, but then it fast-forwards 5 years, so it is actually not a YA book. However, it kind of had a YA feel to it, and it was very clean, so I am not concerned about having it in the library. In fact, several students have read it and really liked it.There is no bad language.There is some talk of girls needing to sell themselves to keep their families safe, but it is done in as non-offensive a way as possible.There are intense situations where characters fear for their lives.There are corrupt and very scary government officials.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic and Realistic Dystopian By lilacqueen75 I was very impressed with this book! What a great start to a fantastic new dystopian series! What really makes this story unique is the way the world changed--it was all from a couple of economic crashes that left the country in shambles.Logan Pond, in Illinois, is home to 30+ citizens, most of them illegal residents of the country. Carrie, an orphan left to care for two younger siblings, is a very kind, resourceful young woman, who is slightly oblivious to what's going on around her. I couldn't help but love her and root for her and there were many characters who felt the same way. When Mariah and Greg, relatives of the clan leaders, show up, things really come to a head, especially since Greg is so abrasive and rubs many the wrong way. Emotions run high and changes occur that have everyone on edge. Oliver, the local patrolman, is determined to help this peaceful clan, but when the heat is put on him for some arrests, his help may be discovered. Carrie has a big decision to make and it's not an easy one--be true to her heart or sacrifice love for the safety of her clan.I loved the characters--they were really brought to life. There was one family that I absolutely detested! I was ready to show them the door right off the bat--they're very selfish, rude, and stubborn. A clan like this takes everyone working together to succeed and this family sure didn't do much to contribute. I loved watching Carrie's eyes open up to the world (and people) around her. She's the most selfless person ever. I also enjoyed watching Greg soften up. Oliver is such a nice, gentle man. How can Carrie decide? I honestly can't wait to continue on with the story to see what happens next.Content:language--maybe one mild expletiveviolence--some mild-moderate fighting, blood, death, nothing graphic at allromance--mild, sweet romanceClean!*I received a copy in exchange for my own honest opinion*

It always gives me anxiety to read "end of the world" books, but the reality is that our economy or government may crash and our way of living could change, so I like to get ideas and feel more prepared after reading books like this."Life" is book 1 in this series and has a good ending but definitely leaves you wanting to read book 2. The characters and situations were very well written and I enjoyed the book immensely! I would consider this book to be clean (no language or sex), filled with drama, and some romance. I couldn't put it down and I am looking forward to reading book 2! I would highly recommend this book.I received this book complimentary for blog and social media review from the author-all opinions are my own!
