This is an incredible story about a very scary future. Readers will enjoy the book because it's about teens that they can relate to.
I loved this book...it really made me think about the hardships of war. I always wanted to read a story about the war with the narater being a kid my age! It was sweet!
How i live now is a great book its intense about a girl who has an eating disorder! and she moves to england with her aunt.She develops a realationship with her cousin its a sexual and phisacal realationship.
I thought this bbok was pretty good. Even though if it was a movie it would probably be a chick flick I still liked it. I was weird because to me it seemed like in some moments there was an eaqul amount of happy and sad things going on. And I agree with Brie that reading a war book with a kid my age was easier to follow because it is coming from are age piont of view. So yeah this book was good.
I loved this book a lot. Thats weird for me because I usually hate books. How I live Now was very exciting and intense you never knew what was going to happen next. I thought it was very grose how Daisy and her cousin Edmond fall in love and had sexual relationships. I loved the ending of how Daisy desides to move to England to be with Edmond and her cousins. I loved how it was about teens I think thats another reason why I really enjoyed it.
Yah, this book was so good i kinda did my first blog wrong so this book was so intense and i love how the whole war book is set into something i can understand. the only thing i didnt like was how daisy and edmond had sex.
How I live now, was a ver exciting book. I loved it! It is weird for me to say this because I am not a big reader, actually i really dispise reading, but i enjoyed this book a lot. It was really weird and made me feel really uncomportable how her and her cousin Edmond feel in love, but you always have someone right!! Anyways... i recommend this book to anyone and everyone, it was awesome!!!
I read this book as an English assignment and I had to decide whether it was a good candidate for the Green Mountain Book Award. I thought that it was a good book for teens, especially because we are in a war. Even though the circumstances are a lot different I think that by reading this book I learned a lot about how difficult it must be to be a child caught in the middle. I thought that this was a good book but parts were graphic. When Daisy and Piper are running away and are alone it seemed to go very slowly. I thought that this was a good book and taught me a lot about what it would be like to be in Daisy or Pipers situation.
Is anyone else bothered by hints that Daisy suffers from an eating disorder that are never fully developed or explained?
"Since none of us was short of protein except me and I was used to it. . ."
"I told them I was too excited to eat anything, and that seemed fine with everyone except Edmond. . ."
