Gary and Tanya smash it out the park again
once once again Gary Chudleigh and his artist of choice Tanya Roberts smash the sci-fi dystopian western genre out of the park.

I love the fact that plagued is a comic I can enjoy with my daughter. We both have very different takes on the story but can agree that we love what we are reading.

Part 1 was very strong but 2 is even stronger leading me to believe we could be in for a hell of a ride in part 3.

Love Plagued

"One of my favorite YA novels. The dystopian society was so well planned out, removing the passions of our world such as poetry and music to lend the support to an existence without pure love. The main character, Lena Halloway, had such a great voice, perfect for a teen narrative, and her interactions with all the Cureds (those who have been saved from the disease, ""amor deliria nervosa"") just grew more and more fascinating with each page. "Love; the deadliest of all deadly things. It kills you both when you have it and when you don't.""

(Thanks for the free book, @PRHGlobal/@prhinternational) What would you do if you were a woman in a world where your gender is so repressed, you are limited to speaking only 100 words a day, with painful consequences if you break that rule (literally)? Christina Dalcher’s first full-length novel starts out with this premise to build a dystopian society that feels like Atwood on steroids. To find out if that’s a good thing or not, you can read my review of “Vox: A Novel” in my latest book review on my blog here.

Well developed flawed protagonists who really come alive. (3 more)
Scarily believable future scape.
Feels like a warning without being preachy
Fantastically poignant ending

Ahead of his time. A must for sci fi fans
If you like science fiction read this. This is part of our history, part of the beginning. So much other great literature sprang from and was inspired by this novel.
Detailed believable culture and characters that despite living in the dystopian world created by Huxley are relatable and real. Flawed humans trying to find meaning to their existence.
No spoilers...just read it.

A thought provoking, dystopian world.

Our planet, inhabitable and dying. Population Zero pushes you to think about the future, about how our actions have consequences that reach far beyond our own front yard.
    It made me feel sad and had me thinking of how easily things can change.
     I'll be honest, none of the possible worlds described held any appeal at all. None of them hold hope of any type of survival but all of them get you to question your actions in the here and now.

An ideal young adult read to open up discussions about the future of our planet.
