Read more of her recommendations at: /Įditor's Note: There are three books in this series. Recommended by: Faith Miller, Librarian, Connecticut USA Do not read this if you are at all squeamish, but if violence and blood, guts, and gore don't bother you, this is a riveting book that will give you nightmares. This is a gritty, frightening novel that has been called a modern Lord of the Flies. Corpses begin to rot and must be disposed of students begin to form gangs to help ensure their survival. Suddenly, social cliques become gangs fighting for food and survival. ![]() The Internet is down and cell phones won't work - there is no escape. /rebates/2fThe-Loners-Lex-Thomas2fbook2f39221547&. The novel follows brothers David and Will through the chaos that ensues when a contamination kills anyone past puberty and forces the government to quarantine the boys and their thousand or so classmates inside a high school. A huge explosion occurs before the school day even begins - teachers die, part of the school collapses, and students scramble for safety. It's only the first day of school at McKinley High, but it will be a very long one. But with that said, there is enough fast-paced adventure in this dystopian novel, that I think boys will love it. There is blood and violence and enough sexual content that I recommend this book for ages 14 and up. Quarantine is not for the faint of heart. ![]() One night stand chetan bhagat7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Please note that these ratings solely represent the complete review 's biased interpretation and subjective opinion of the actual reviews and do not claim to accurately reflect or represent the views of the reviewers.

But there's good reason for readers to love Bhagat's work. The critics who see a lack of lasting literary merit in Bhagat's works are perfectly correct.
