I read the book The Diary of Pelly D by L.J. Adlington. It kept me turning the page, wanting to know what strange thing was going to happen next.

** Background Information **
This book was about evolution, and it took place in the future. In the book, it is many years after humans have moved away from Earth, in search of finding a peaceful new home planet. Unfortunately, Their hope for a peaceful way of life goes horribly wrong when a small riot between the Atsumisi, Mazani, and Galrezi heratige clans breaks out and turns into war. Supposedly, the Atsumisi clan has a gene that makes them better than everyone else, and the Mazani clan has it, too, though it is dormant. The Galrezi, however, have no such gene. This leaves them at the bottom of the food chain. This small riot is caused when the water supply runs low and the Atsumisi start forcing Galrezi to work for them to purify water. The Galrezi have had enough and start boycotting, which turns into bombing and fighting the security.

The book starts with a boy named Toni V finding a diary during his post-war clean up job. Even though he's not supposed to, he takes the diary back to his bunk and starts reading. He finds himself lost in the pre-war world of Pelly D. He is intrigued by her description of herself, and how she goes to school and has all guys bowing down to her. Toni likes Pelly, because of her good looks and upbeat personality. Sadly, a guy like Toni V would never work for Pelly. Toni is a hardworking mess of a boy. He's permanently sunburnt from hours of digging in the heat and lives in a rundown apartment with five other guys. After pages and pages of Pelly talking about her current boyfriend, exams, shopping, and how ignorant Marek T is, it finally gets good. Pelly has to be branded with her heritage clan. She's Galrezi. As she puts it in her diary, "How is it possible for the great and amazing Pelly D to be Galrezi?" After this, everything goes wrong for her. Her best friend gets shipped out to City 1 to help with the interrogation, her brother runs away, her family is forced into a tiny run-down apartment, and Marek T has to move in with her. Also, there are bombings and riots happening every day, right outside her window. Her parents are fighting, and her little sister is delusional. Toni is so engulfed in her world and wondering what is going to happen next. But that's the end of the diary. No more. All done. Was Pelly killed in the war? What happened to her? Those are the questions we all ask.

In conclusion, I did not like my book very much becuse it was very slow and quite strange. I would not recomend it unless you have a lot of patience and are into science fiction. media type="custom" key="8003620"
