Editorial Reviews
“The fascination of turning allusiveness into action may even explain the desire of an author as potentially imaginative and original as Chris Weitz to write such crisply practical, such shrewdly shameless, popular entertainments.” —New York Times Book Review on The Young World
“A broken NYC is so compelling that readers will find it hard to put this book down.” —School Library Journal on The Young World

The fascination of turning allusiveness into action may even explain the desire of an author as potentially imaginative and original as Chris Weitz to write such crisply practical, such shrewdly shameless, popular entertainments. —The New York Times Book Review
Weitz offers a satisfying YA interpretation of the Greek classic Anabasis, brimming with grisly encounters and gallows humor. He also finds room to touch upon issues of race, class, commercialism, and sexuality in nuanced moments that are sharply juxtaposed with the near-constant dangers and seeming hopelessness of the larger picture. —Publishers Weekly
A broken NYC is so compelling that readers will find it hard to put this book down. — School Library Journal
Telling his story in the alternating voices of Jeff and Donna, noted film director Weitz, in his first YA novel, has done a good job of meticulously building his postapocalyptic world. —Booklist
This is a page-turner that will hook readers from the beginning. —Library Media Connection
[A] pretty irresistible spot to end, guaranteeing interest in the remaining two novels of this promised trilogy. —The Bulletin
