This haunting dystopian novel thrillingly and realistically looks at a nuclear winter from an Australian perspective.For Fin it's just like any other day'acing for the school bus, bluffing his way through class, and trying to remain cool in front of the most sophisticated girl in his universe. 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?… (altro)

This book was good, really good to be honest. But (yes there is a but) it annoyed me. Really annoyed me. Really really annoyed me ... I could go on.

I was swept along from the beginning being drawn into Fin & Maximums world. I wanted to know what would happen, I agreed with their decisions and wondered how they would cope with what I predicted (correctly) would happen. I cared about the characters, sympathized with Noll's moral questioning and Fin's worries about spoiler the gun, his dad, his mum lack of food. I was impressed with the way the characters were represented, average 17 year olds being generally badly stereotyped (by average I mean one who would find our world normal rather than say Katniss who has grown up with The Hunger Games, she is not a typical 17 year old).

What really annoyed me was the end. It ended abruptly, too abruptly for me. I felt as if there were space for at least another 100 pages of story. I was disappointed I didn't get an overall resolution to the story. So it gets a 3.5 stars from me. The Sky so Heavy was great but it could have been soo much better. (

Great book. Thought it could be beginning of a series but I kind of liked how it ended and happy if it stopped there. Would love to write the screenplay adaptation of this story. Think it would look amazing on film or TV. (

Erica read this 5/19 on recommendation from her school librarian. We had a good discussion

about it. (

This is good. Characters are great and the plot is surprising and realistic. It presents the reader with lots of possibilities, and the choices made by the characters are laced with what ifs? Moral dilemmas are rife, but the overriding concern is with survival and what people are willing to do in order for that to happen. An obvious first in a series, it offers a shocking ending - quite unforeseen. (
