Z for Zachariah by: Robert C. O'Brien What would you do if you were the last surviving person in the world after a nuclear fallout? Find out what a 16 year old girl named Ann Burden does after a nuclear war in the only place not touched by the radiation. Read on to find out what she does as she strives to live in her own valley.

In Z for Zachariah you find out what a 16 year old girl named Ann Burden does to survive as the last man on earth. This book was written in 1st person and is written as it would be in a journal.Personally i do not like this style of writing since it makes it a more slow paced book. As she does everything she can to live she does it in secret thinking an evil man will come and kill her. Eventually a man in a bright green suit comes to the valley as Ann watches this man she notices him being a scientist. One day this sceintist carelessly jumps in a stream that was radiated by the atomic bombs dropped. He ends up getting sick and close to death So Ann goes to help him. This is as far as i can go without giving anything important away.

The main characters in the story are Ann and the man. Ann is a hard working country girl from a green valley in the USA. She ends up being very paranoid about the man but is that a good thing? All i can say about the man is he is a scientist from the eastern USA and began wandering to find survivors but he finds the valley. Is this man evil or good, Is Ann's question.

The setting of this book is a unnamed Valley untouched by the radiation saying that it still has its luscious green grass and flowers. The science in this book is surviving an atom bomb and dealing with a scientist too.

If you like more of a slow paced survival book with a touch of action and like reading it from a journal style, you may like this book.

In the end i give this book

media type="custom" key="8006686"

This is due to slow pace and no action. I do not suggest reading this book.
