Last Girl on Earth

Good

Book was really good quality but I got 2 books on accident. Too late to return them. Other then that good quality.

Here’s to Alexandra Blogier for the quality of her writing. The descriptions of the landscape in The Last Girl on Earth are quite wonderful. Her scenic passages put the reader right there feeling the underbrush, seeing the cliff. Here is her opening:I push my way through the tangled weed and onto the cliffs overlooking the Bay. The light of day is already fading, and for a moment, it looks like winter, though there is no such thing.Some reviewers are correct. Many questions are left unanswered about this world such as why there is no longer winter. That said, there is enough information to get a strong sense of earth under the rule of the Abdoloreans. I found the snarky comment about the gills by another reviewer unnecessary. We know the main character; Li, the last girl on earth, has been adopted and protected by a scientist, her father. We don’t need the details of the surgery.While I think the book will appeal to girls more than boys, there is enough about military training that it might appeal to boys. This is not a book for someone who is looking for a pure sci-fi read.The novel revolves around Li’s relationships. Whether it is with her father, best friend, boyfriend, or instructor, the dialogue reads as though it were real. The boyfriend provides both romance and mystery because the reader is in suspense as to whether the boyfriend will betray her to the Aboloreans. The romance is innocent and somewhat formulaic in the YA tradition, but the dialogue and plot are written with skill beyond that of a typical first-time author.

Though the book may be short, that doesn't mean it isn't good. My favorite Character is Ryn, Li`s boyfriend. For Li, Ryn is the most dangerous thing she has ever had. I especially enjoy the beginning of this book; the author described how she felt and what she saw perfectly in such a little amount of words. This forbidden romance between Ryn and Li is to die for in my opinion. I recommend this amazing book to people who like Si-Fi books and people who like love stories.(Review provided by my 6th grade reader.)

easy read, was expecting far more from it. Could have been longer for more world building. It seems like just the same earth as it was with humans just with different tech. Li has to hide who she is, passes her tests and eventually gets found out. Literally all that happens. A VERY predictable story. Wish it was longer with more characters and world building. It was a nice book to pass time with but that’s it.
