Summary: The last book in the universe
Review: I was looking through the school library convincing myself there would be no good books there(since i'm a horror/sci-fi fan). I picked up this book figuring it was worth a shot. However once I started the book I could barely put it down. It is a strong, captivating story that has strong characters and a great plot. I would highly recommend the book but keep in mind the ending is quite sad and I can only pray that one day there will be a sequel.

Summary: The Last Book in the Universe
Review: This is the first book I read by Rodman Philbrick. And I must say I was pleasantly surprised!
It takes place in the wake of what the main character, Spaz calls the "Great Shake".
Apparently a gargantuan earthquake has left the world in ruins and a new world order has emerged. Some live out in the ruins... (The have nots) and some live in a paradise like utopiah, eden... (The haves).
Our main character, Spaz is the lowest of the low. One totally shunned because of his disability, apparently he has epilepsy.
He comes of age trying to find a way to get to his ailing sister.
This story is enjoyable and interesting. I recommend it to fans of futuristic fantasy.
