Hi,

Can someone recommend me realistic dystopia/postapo? Some story that could have happened to me as well, describing catastrophe that it`s easy to imagine happening in our world. (I think you understand why I tempt to read sth like it ;)). I`d like a book about extreme situation, but about “normality” in it . About usual problems, like gaining food or ensuring family`s security, not about saving whole world or great fight with wrong.
Here some my examples:

Life As We Knew It That`s best example of what I`m looking for. It`s a story of family trapped in a house while outside civilisation is falling into ruin. Nothing really terrible happens in characters neighbourhood, no tsunami, no firestorms, no bombs, but such thing happen all around the world and as a consequences, shops are closed, schools are closed, offices are closed – world as we know it ends. All they can do is to sit and observe vanishing supplies. As one review said – firstly you think it`s only “we ate two cans for breakfast, we have current available for 5 minutes”, nothing special. And after you turn a few pages more all you think about is – what they ate? Will they have electricity? The heroine is normal girl, firstly she don`t understand seriousness of the danger, but she get used to it, grows into thinking in careful, responsible, caring way. She is strong, but not unbelievable, probably each of us could train yourself to behave like her. Her power is not about move object with her mind – it`s about chopping wood in freezing cold, dying from tiredness but knowing that all others are ill and she just has no other option. It`s about calculating, where to stop eat at all to increase her younger brother`s chances of survival – while previously he felt that her mum unfairly favours him.
There`s only one thing I didn`t like in this book – lack of interaction with other people. Such extreme conditions bring out the worst in people – but in this book everyone where starving politely in own home as if stealing food was impossible…

The Age of Miracles It`s more poetic (the language is so beautiful that I use to read some sentences aloud to taste every word), contemporary, psychological, less survival. But again it`s natural catastrophe observed by normal girl, plot is concentrated on her life in this hard time.

Tomorrow, When the War Began– that`s from the one hand ideal example of such type of books, but from another – not. The point is that group of teenagers coming back from mountain trip discover their country at war. The writing is very imaginative, I remember that when I was younger I liked that all names are English (I`m not native) – it was so emotionally suggestive that I preferred not to imagine this closer to my reality. Worth mentioning is also not obvious psychology of characters – heroine in danger has sometimes some weird thoughts, not on a subject – she`s not a paper figure, feeling only what author wants it to feel, what`s is logic and proper, she`s a real human, with all of humans contradictions and weirdness.
But what I don`t like was that normal teenagers fastly turn into professional commandos, they`re extremely brave and they do a lot of important actions. They are still convincing, normal, everything is realistically described – but it`s not so easy to put yourself in their position, the plot is more incredible.
