Criticism Of Books Z for Zachariah

I read this right after I read Apocalypse Nerd, which fueled my disappointment with the book. The sentiments of the main character often had me holding my arms to the sky thinking how the heck could anyone be so naive! She also made me laugh a little because she reminded me so much of my grandmother. Especially in the way she would seem to hold any man to be smarter and more deserving than herself. He shot someone? Well, I'm sure he had his reasons, I don't need to hide his guns or even think

I recently saw the movie of this book and really liked it. Mankind has once again tried to destroy itself and there is one person left alive, at least that's what she thinks. So I picked up the book from my local library. Book started the same as the movie but after a few chapters there was a radical difference. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to see the movie first! But, then again, I would not have read the book if not for the movie. Just a three star for me. I liked it but I liked the movie

Yeah. Thats how this one is going to go. The expectations were high with this one. I first discovered this book when I found out it was being made into a movie so of course I was all about getting the book read first. Especially when I realized this author also wrote one of my favorites of all time: The Secret of Nimh . Naturally I couldnt find a copy anywhere but FINALLY! Some luck blew my way and my library came through. I started it immediately. I finished it within 24 hours. And now Im sad.

This was written in the early seventies for the dystopian youth market. Wait... was there a dystopian SF youth market back then? Um... I guess so! I have this weird feeling like I just entered the twilight zone... but it must be true! I'm used to 70's SF and Fantasy being very adult oriented and over the top. I think of Lucifer's Hammer or the other later classics of post-apocalyptic nightmares that came out later like The Stand and Swan Song and so many others, but here's the gorgeous bit:This

I just re-read this amazing book that I've had for a long time. The first time I read it was when I was in 4th grade because my sister had read it. I found it boring. I read it again in 7th and understood it better than I had in 4th grade. And now, for 12th grade, it's just plain awesome. It's about a girl who survives the dropping of a nuclear bomb. She thinks she's the only one left alive, but soon discovers she is not alone at all. Not only is she alone, she's in great danger. I can't say

I remember the TV adaptation the BBC did in the mid-80's and quite liked it and I thought I would give the book a go. Sadly the book is a bit of a drag. As others have pointed out, there's a lack of action. This is partly due to the 1-person/journal approach, which makes total sense but it does the rob the book of action in some key scenes. The bigger problem is the story zeroes in the day to day of surviving through farming/caring for a sick man without any real conflict. For me, a wonderful

Excellent book; the real horror of it isn't the nuclear devastation, but the feeling of being stalked and having no one around to help you get away. At first Mr. Loomis is a likeable character but he quickly takes a turn for the creepy, and that's when this book gets really intense.
