How I Live Now centres on what happens to a group of young people when civilization begins to crumble. But it's also a poignant love story, a compelling, against-all-odds one at that.

"How I Live Now" makes World War III seem boring, which would hardly seem possible.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

There's a clear message here: Sometimes it takes extraordinary circumstances to realize it, but we all have the capacity to shed our petty concerns and focus on the greater good.

How I Live Now offers adolescents a lovely vision of holistic healing in the same countryside.
