Kathleen Garber's Reviews > Ashes, Ashes

Although I don't read much fiction, what I do read is mostly YA. I love Dystopian fiction as the idea of survival interests me (although I have no interest in actually trying it.)

I enjoyed Ashes, Ashes and may I just say, I LOVE the cover of the book. That cover would make anyone pick up the book.

My favourite character was Lucy because she is able to take care of herself but also cares for others and understands she can't always be alone. She is what I would hope I'd be like if I were in her shoes. There are many characters that we don't know anything about so I could see a prequel come in to play if this book is as popular as I think it will be. It would be nice to know the back story of some of the characters.

My least favourite character was Grammalie Rose. I'm not sure why but I guess I didn't feel she was grandmotherly enough although obviously with the circumstances, she had more important things to do than sit with the kids or bake cookies. I just mean she didn't seem to be very understanding of Lucy.
