This was a very good book, good for ages 14-18 and up. It had things that people of that age group would understand and like. I enjoyed most of the book.

How I Live Now, is a book about two cousins that fall in love during the war.
Due to complications, they're split up for a significant amount of time. I had to read this for class, I really didn't enjoy it.
It's not about the whole incest thing that made me not enjoy it, but I guess the way it was written made it hard for me to really understand what was going on. The book is written as if it was a diary, there were capital letters where they weren't needed. There were no quotation marks at any point of the book, and just everything was messy.
I hated it. But like I said, I had to read it for a class novel in school.

This book is really good but at times the interest can die away and then there are people in the book that just don't seem to belong I would tell anyone to read this book but there are parts of this book that would make me think again
