This novel put my entire life into perspective. It made me take into perspective the entire way I live, and forced me to imagine a world without ample food, clean water, electricity, plumbing, or fuel to drive vehicles. The novel has YA…

The plot was realistic especially as this province is such a heavy oil producer and it was a decent short story. However I didn't get connected with the story which meant I wasn't invested.

I've read this author before and I have always found her plot unrealistic and the characters are always thin. Still, quick fast read and gets you thinking about how much we depend on oil.

It was an okay book but not something that I would read again. I understand the whole shortage of natural resources and natural disasters that plague the east coast, but there was poor character development, that to me could have made this…

Loved this book, and how it was written in the point of view of 3 characters. Great sci fi book.

I found this to be a very interesting book which could very likely happen to the world as we know it at any time. Living in Alberta Canada I see how rich oil and gas can make people and the province as well, but it can also be quiet…

I expected this book to have a darker tone, but at the same time I think that because it didn't have that dark a tone helped to convey its message. There is hope for the future, and we need to continue acting on this knowledge. Oil will…

this book really opened my eyes to the dangers of extreme oil usage. very interesting and realistic, although hopefully our governement will never do something like rely on oil until there's none left!

This is a novel that forces one to rethink their values and weigh out needs versus wants. The one complaint I have is that I would've liked more character development. Especially after the storm, I would've thought that their situation…

a different out look on the future. I found it an interesting way to view the future without the oil we are so reliant on today. it takes a break from aliens and robots invading

Love it! Very realistic, though it could've been a little more detailed.

Great! A really insightful book of what will happen when we run out of oil.> I know, sounds dorky, but it's actually really good! =)

I LOVE this book! It's truly amazing, demostrating the world's state if we continue with the gases and the pollution. Amazing characters, and though it didn't have a thorough plot, it was a fasinating read. Anyone who has any interest, or…

Gas shortages and severe weather wreck havoc on a upstate New York town. What could have been an interesting premise is stunted by poor character development, virtually no action or suspense and, basically, no plot. It's not even deep…
