This book was free. Thankfully.I admit I only finished a quarter of it. It wasn't the spelling or grammar errors that stopped me from finishing, it was the need to suspend all rational thought.The book is about a 16 year old girl named Sky. She lives in an underwater city that was built as a shelter when an asteroid is on an impact course with earth. The asteroid was discovered only one year before the impact and most scientists think it will miss the Earth, but not Sky's grandparents. They get the 700 acre underwater city built and stocked in less than a year, and save enough people to potentially repopulate the Earth. Think Noah's Ark.The asteroid hits, destroying nearly everything. When the earth recovers enough, a new colony is started on land, but not everyone can leave the underwater city yet. Only a few people at a time are allowed up.So far, fine. Nothing too far-fetched. But then, for Sky's 16th birthday, one boy makes a gift of diamond earrings, and her boyfriend gives her a mood ring.Where did these items come from? There is no way all these items would have been stocked in the shelter, because it had to have been built and stocked in less than a year. Everything on the surface was destroyed. Give me a break.Results: if you have no independent thought, it may be just the thing for you.
