Evaluate Based On Books The Other Side of the Island

I'm harsher on this than other books, simply because these types of novels are my favorite, dystopian world building, coming of age, growing to realize that what you've been told your entire life is wrong...This fell flat for me. I almost felt like I didn't know what story the author was telling. Is this the parent's story, or the child's story? I never felt invested in either. I kept feeling angry at the parents, recklessly putting their children's lives in danger, in most circumstances I

The Other Side of the Island is reasonably intersting but lacking a little in character development and surprises in the plot. It has some ideas to reflect on about what our values and what we see as problems in the world. One thing that distinguishes The Other Side of the Island from other dystopian stories is that this is clearly set after the World suffers some of the effects of global warming. This aspect makes the story seem a bit more relevant and possible. Another distinguishing aspect is

I've loved quite a few post-apocalypse dystopian YA novels over the years, but I think this one will go down as one of my favorites. In a world where people live on domed islands in an attempt to satisfy the new government led by the figurehead of the Earth Mother, there are few who will question the rules for sustaining a safe and peaceful life. But Honor and her family are newcomers to this warm monitored environment. Now they are living in a southern island society where the rules and the

Honor and her parents WIll and Pamela Greenspoon move from the northern islands to the Island where everything is how it should be and fits perfectly in its place. In the colonies she grows to believe in Earth Mother that is their protector and regulates their weather however her parents aren't the biggest believers in Earth Mother. At the school Honor goes to they separate you by the letter of you name like all the kids whose names start with an H they are all in the same class. When Honor got

Well, weve finally gone and pissed off Mother Earth. We finally mucked up the planet enough and The Flood was sent to put us in our place. Never fear, because the Corporation and the Earth Mother are here to save the day! The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman takes place in the eighteenth year of Enclosure (where its always sunny and green under the dome), long after Mother Earth dumped on us in the form of the Flood. This is Honors story (silent H, which is a no-no, since she was born

This is another of those "scary future" worlds. Global warming has resulted in melted ice-cap, world-wide floods and destruction. As the book opens, one family has been "retrieved" from the north islands where they were basically hiding out, and assimilated into the current society of the southern islands. The government is under the control of Earth Mother who promises to protect and shield the planet from future destruction by use of weather control, and literal shields that stretch over the

Well. I guess I wish Goodman had put a little more time into this book. It's a great premise, and could have been a great story, but it ended up seeming too half-baked. The characters weren't particularly likeable or believable, and a lot of their actions didn't really make sense to me. Also, a lot of the writing seemed...annoyingly dumbed down. I just think it could have been a whole lot better.
