Relation To Books The Sky So Heavy

For Fin, it's just like any other day - racing for the school bus, bluffing his way through class, and trying to remain cool in front of the most sophisticated girl in his universe, Lucy. Only it's not like any other day because, on the other side of the world, nuclear missiles are being detonated.

When Fin wakes up the next morning, it’s dark, bitterly cold, and snow is falling. There’s no internet, no phone, no TV, no power, and no parents. Nothing Fin’s learned in school could have prepared him for this.

With his parents missing and dwindling food and water supplies, Fin and his younger brother Max must find a way to survive all on their own.

When things are at their most desperate, where can you go for help?

Write-Up Containing Books The Sky So Heavy
Well, shucks... this is one post-apocalytpic survival that just really didn't do it for me. It's certainly dark, though I felt the writing just didn't quite fit the overall mood of the book, as it breezed along quite quickly.I just felt that there was no real climax to the story. The whole time they're trying to survive and to find Fin's mother because she will fix everything, and then well.. the outcome was just such a let down, and the ending didn't offer much either.I definitely didn't

Well this just blew Tomorrow, When the War Began right out of the water. *waves casually to old Aussie classic as it sinks into oblivion* I APPROVE. I (personally) adore survival stories, the apocalypse, and the thought of using cereal as currency. This book had so much going for it. Except...I got seriously hungry while reading it. Seriously hungry.What if the world randomly and suddenly ended in ice and snow? Especially in Australia where we're not really versed in freezing to death. I think

DONE. FINALLY.The book went like:Boy: Heard about the nuke testing?Girl: Yah. When will people understand that violence is not a solution smh..- - -Girl: You going to the protest?Boy: Nah, what's the point? It's not like the government's gonna listen to us anyway.- - -Teacher: THERE R COUNTRIES ABOTU TO NUKE EACH OTHER!!!!! DO U NTO CARE???? prOETSTT?????? U GOIGN????Class: Dude, chill, that's on the other side of the world, nothing's gonna happen to us.Teacher: OHMUGOD SELFLISH YOUTH!!!!!!!- -

So I have a thing for disaster stories and that's a fact. And this one was no exception. I rather enjoyed this book, except for the times when it filled me with a deep terror at the thought of how this kind of scenario is not far from coming to fruition in the immediate future, if not via nuclear armageddon then through the increasinlgy devastating effects of climate change. Yay humanity...

The Sky So Heavy is Claire Zorns debut novel. Set in the Blue Mountains and then Sydney, the story revolves around seventeen year old Fin Heath and his younger brother Max. Life is normal for them, if you ignore the threat of nuclear war, until one day Fin wakes up and the world has changed snow is falling, the electricity is out, his parents are gone. I loved this book. I loved it so much that I read it in about three hours I was unable to put it down and from the moment Fin gets a panicked

I found this book on the "most read this week" list and was drawn in by the cover and title. Luckily I had an amazon.com gift card, and without reading any reviews, only the summary of the book, I bought it. I read it in six hours, and it's the first book in a long time that I am going to recommend to all my friends.The story is being told by a male POV, which is a nice change from all the female POVs in YA / Dystopian literature. Also, (view spoiler)[he is not a chosen one that needs to save

Most of you know me well enough now, that you know I don't read books in male POV, I made an exception for this book for a couple of reasons, one it is written by a fellow Australian and two It seemed similar to Tomorrow when the war began, which was my favourite book.The toughest question you could ask a reader like me is what is your favourite book? mostly because I read so many and fall in love with so many it is hard to pick a favourite. To be a favourite it has to invoke all my emotions, I
