This book had such good potential, but it wasn't good, but freaking fantastic!! This, this feeling right here, this is how you are supposed to feel after you read a book. Not (see previous post) that! The Rain has SUCH a unique storyline. I read it in twenty-four hours. It is like no other dystopian I have ever read... Because, it is the one thing we cannot survive without which has become irreversibly lethal, water. Fifteen year old Ruby has learned this the very, very hard way. Everyone she knows and even doesn't know is dead, well almost everyone. Stuck with who may be, the last boy on Earth, Ruby must make do with the company she has to find what food, clean water and hope she can. Before I started this book I knew I'd enjoy it, but as I got further into it and realised just how dire and complex the situation was, I came to have a huge admiration of it. Plus... the author has replaced all of the swear words in this book with little pictures of butterflies. It is awesome!! Not only is this such a unique idea, but it allowed me to implant whatever words I wanted into story and boy was that fun!! I cannot wait to pick book two, The Storm up. So stay tuned, its review will surely not be that far behind. World Wide Book Club: I co-own a goodreads read-along group where each month we choose and buddy read a book together.
