Fear The Dust.
Review of Children of the Dust - Louise Lawrence by
KarenUK
Advantages: A thought-provoking read.
Disadvantages: Not completely satisfying.
...holocaust, so my interest in Children of the Dust was piqued and I bought it from Amazon for £4.99.
The novel arrived yesterday and I finished it a few hours later. With its striking cover, it is a book you want to read without delay and it is easy to finish, due to both its compelling story and its brevity at only 174 pages.
SYNOPSIS
The novel is split into three parts, each one featuring one main character - Sarah, Ophelia and Simon. Each ...

Homo superior, the children of the dust.
Review of Children of the Dust - Louise Lawrence by
mayansoko
Advantages: its brilliant
Disadvantages: is a bit morbid at times
...book for, I’m not saying children would not gain anything from reading this book far from it but I’m not sure that if I was a parent I would want a younger child reading about so many horrible ways to die, rabid wild dogs, mutants, and the extinction of life, I know they can see much worse on telly but when its in there imagination it’s a different story.
Anyway I completely recommend this book to anyone as a bed time read or a way to pass a Sunday ...

Homo Sapiens...WISE men?
Review of Children of the Dust - Louise Lawrence by
Mini_Minx
Advantages: Excellent story line, quite chilling
Disadvantages: Stops you sleeping...!
...stepmother Veronica and the three children Sarah, Catherine and William who are at home preparing for the inevitable nuclear winter, and the father, Bill, who is at work and, by chance, manages to get into a nuclear bunker.
The description of events is chilling and realistic. It is a 'what would I do in this situation?' sort of story. And those of you who love animals, I defy you not to shed a tear...what would you do with your beloved pet if you ...

every world leader should read this book
Review of Children of the Dust - Louise Lawrence by
baby1j2005
Advantages: well written - exelent story
Disadvantages: quite disturbing imagery for young people
I was first introduced to this novel as a "set book" for my English lit. GCSE when I was 14. I began reading it because I had to, and expected it to be the same old boring stuff we were always given. - boy was I in for a shock!
The teacher told us to read the first few pages for homework - that was on a Friday, by the time the weekend was over I had finished the whole thing. For the first time in my life I had read a book, apart from the dandy ...

Everyone Should Read This Book
Review of Children of the Dust - Louise Lawrence by
zoeeve302
Advantages: Inspiring and Haunting
Disadvantages: Haunting
This is a book for teenagers that I studied at the age of 14 but I loved it so much I had to buy as an adult. It is a really hard hitting thought provoking book that covers quite a few moral issues and utimately leaves you feeling grateful that you get to enjoy the little things in life, birds tweeting in the morning ,rain on your face etc etc.
It is split into three chapters - three generations and begins with the potential end of the world and ...
