Sometimes it takes a major natural disaster to make you realize how important family is!Just ask Alex. He is as happy as can be that he was left alone for a weekend. He didnt want to go across the country to visit relatives. So, now he is by himself and loving life, right?Not. See, when you are teen trying to act like an adult, sometimes you need to make adult decisions. Sometimes, those decisions are huge like fleeing for your life because a supervolcano has erupted. Sometimes those decisions*This ARC was provided to me by the publishers. No money or gifts were exchanged for this review.I seem to be one of the very few that found this book a little on the average side. It really probably wasnt the books fault. In fact, if youre looking for some good reviews of this book, try out Phoebe Norths Review. There are several different reasons why people enjoy apocalypse stories. Some people enjoy watching the break down of society and making commentary on that. Some people enjoy the
**4.5 stars**I'm not much for survivalist kind of books but I loved this one. It scared the hell out me though - I'm really not ready for a situation like this. Thankfully, it's not bound to happen in my lifetime. :)This is the story of Alex, a typical teenager who has to grow up fast when he finds himself alone in the midst of the biggest natural disaster of his lifetime. He's separated from his family (by his own choice) and now that he doesn't have them, he finds that he misses them terribly.
One of my many book addictions is the End of the World As We Know It stories or otherwise known as Oh-My-Good-Golly-WhatDo-We-Do-Now? books! :) Over the years, these tales have begun to possess similar plots, events, scares, and attitudes. But Mike Mullins Ashfall felt like a brand new bag in many ways! It held such inspiration, morality, and hope in the pages. This story felt more like a journey towards a new way of living in a new world rather than the beginning of the end.After a supervolcano
4.5 starsWell, colour me surprised: I kind of love this book. Let me clarify that statement. I didnt expect to dislike it. I wouldnt have gone to the effort of procuring it (Ashfall is not available in Australia) if I didnt have a desire to read it. But my physical TBR pile is literally (view spoiler)[(thats a proper literally, thanks very much) (hide spoiler)] big enough to do me an injury (albeit a minor one) if it fell on me, and somehow Ashfall repeatedly ended up on the bottom of that
Ashfall was kindly provided to me by Netgalley for Tanglewood.Expected Publication Date: October 11th 2011Ashfall was one of the most well written books Ive read in a long time. I was so enthralled with this book that I read it a little bit at a time because I wanted to relish this book and all that it was about. Ashfall is the story of Alex, a teenage boy learning to survive on his own after the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts. With the electricity out, the sun hidden behind a cloud of ash, and
Wow. I may need to sign up for some Taekwondo classes. That was awesome.There was a time when I used to watch all those Discovery Channel science shows. Shark Week, Storm Chasers, I watched them all. My all-time favorites were the volcano shows. Then I learned about the Yellowstone Super Volcano. The sheer size of this volcano boggles the mind and should it decide to blow, life on earth (especially North America) would undergo some drastic changes.Ashfall begins on an ordinary Friday afternoon
