Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts

Fiction
Post-apocalyptic( Story takes place during & after destruction of the world)
Plot: Since the beginning of
mankind, civilizations have fallen: the Romans, the Greeks, the Aztecs...and now us. Huge earthquakes rock the world. Cities are destroyed. But something even more awful is happening: An ancient evil has been unleashed, and it's turning everyday people into hunters, killers, and crazies. This is the world Mason, Aries, Clementine, and Michael are living in--or rather, trying to survive. Each is fleeing unspeakable horror, from murderous chaos to brutal natural disasters, and each is traveling the same road in a world gone mad. Amid the throes of the apocalypse and clinging to love and meaning wherever it can be found, these four teens are on a journey into the heart of darkness--and to find each other and a place of safety.
Personal Response: Dark Inside is a compelling book about survival. Dark inside was a real page turner, once I got into it, I couldn't stop. The story line was great, and I really enjoyed how it was given throughout the perspectives different characters. In the end all of their perspectives became one, as one character saw another, and then what it felt like to be the one doing what the other saw. All the characters came alive, in the same world with different views, all of them in emotional trauma. That tone goes on throughout the entire novel, really wanting you to turn the next page. Overall the novel is exciting with quite a bit of action, the words are vivid, describing a scene right in front of your eyes.
4/5
