Advantages: Insperational and well writen Disadvantages: Not enough information and swearing
How I Live Now is an excellent book for older readers containing a few examples of swearing. Meg Rosoff uses a wide range of vocabulary and strong phrases that capture the imagination.

I loved this book. ...

Advantages: Different to most young adult romance novels Disadvantages: May be offensive and disturbing to some
...torn away from those you love. The wool is never pulled over the reader's eyes, and love itself is conveyed so much more truly, so much more painfully yet at the same time heart-warming-ly than cheesey high school love stories. How I Live Now- wonderfully sad, brilliantly real, superbly written. ...
