The Way of the Cicadas was an unexpectedly phenomenal read!!
I love reading dystopia apocalyptic futuristic books, and this book covers all of that wonderfully!! And yet, it leaves you suspended, wanting to know what's going to happen next. And keeps you hanging on with each twist.
This book very well could reflect what our future could look like, with all the nuclear arms crap going on, so this brings forth a realistic sounding real world event. I hope we don't experience it, because this book doesn't shy away from the horrors an apocalyptic world would hold.
I initially understood the name of the book from the title, and the description of the book, but I understood it even more while reading The Way of the Cicadas, and it made me actually happy, because I may be one of the few people who actually love cicadas. They are music to my ears. And knowing how The Way of the Cicadas reflects the life of a cicada, in a way, it made me enjoy the book even more!!
I highly suggest giving The Way of the Cicadas a read!!! I can't wait to know more!!
