It is the year 2027.
The last days of the human race.
No child has been born in 18 years.
He must protect our only hope.
This is a book that I read after I saw the film which came out in 2006 and is one of my favorite movies ever. I was immediately hooked by the realism and humanity exhibited in the movie, and I really wanted to read the book that it was based on. I am very happy to say that the book is every bit as striking as the film adaptation, and it is a book that everyone should read one time or another.
However, this may not be a book that everyone should read. It is incredibly dark (to maintain all the realism of our world falling apart), and there is also a fair amount of adult content in here. I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone in our class right now, but everyone should read it at one time or another.

It sounds like an awesome book. I'll make sure to read it sometime.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll think about it. So basically, the human race has died and he has two children or something?
ReplyDeleteThe entire human race has become infertile (women can't make babies anymore for some reason), and then a man in England is tasked with protecting humanity's last hope. I guess it is kind of self explanatory what that hope is...
DeleteThis book sounds really interesting. I will definitely read it.
