so, has anyone read alas, babylon by pat frank? i've only read the first couple of chapters, and it really doesn't appeal to me. but did you like it? why or why not? discuss.

I read it in ninth grade. I liked it. Not my favorite books ever, but I always enjoy character books (or as I call them that), where the book doesn't really focus on events, but focuses on character reactions to a problem. Obviously the one in this was nuclear warfare (always fun for everyone). Keep reading, it gets better. I remember it being slow at first.

Omfg.
Never again. I'm almost done with it, and it is, quite possibly, the most boring book I've ever had the displeasure of reading.
