No Mans Land, by Lesley Hauge, was a book I didn't expect to read. I was just wandering the library, looking for a book to read, and this cover just caught my attention. Now before you start pointing fingers at the kid who "judges a book by its cover," let me just say that I always read the back and take note of the author.
I'm not too familiar with Lesley Hauge but after reading the back I found out that this book is about a post-apocalyptic society consisting of only women. From these women arise Trackers, people who protect the borders from men.One group of Trackers, just happens to discover a room underground full of the artifacts, like magazines and high-heeled shoes.
This summary sparked my interest, and I got the book. At first, it started out a bit slow, talking about the general lives of the girls. This bored me. Later on however, the book started moving faster, with training and the discovery of the underground room. Because they had been out after curfew,committee members were looking for them, adding to the action. Overall, I look forward to the rest of the book, because I assume there will be more content. From the 100 or so pages I've read of No Mans Land, I felt it started a bit too slow for my liking.
8/20 - 30min., 8/21 - 40min., 8/22 - 30min., 8/23 - 30min., 8/25 - 20min.
Total - 150min., pp. 1-118
This sounds like an amazing book, and I really feel like reading it.
