The Carbon Diaries 2015 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Interesting concept and a good book for teenagers about a definite possibility. Nevertheless it is a book for teenagers, and i dont think it would cross over to the adult market, just a little bit too young. Great idea though. "

" This book was better than I thought it would be. It wasn't overly preachy about global warming until the end and I thought the story was good. I also liked the diary format. At the end of the book there was not only a glossary disguised as part of the story (the book is British and uses some British slang) but a list of places teens could go to get more information about global warming. I would definitely give this book to an eco-conscious high schooler or middle schooler. "

" Yuck! I hate this book. DO NOT READ. "

" The students have really been into this type of book lately, but for me this one was a lot less effective than something like Life as We Knew It. I had a hard time connecting to Laura's voice and it wasn't until the very end that I felt any kind of tension. Not sure I'll pick up the next one... "

" 3 and a 1/2 stars seem to be the caliber of books I have read these days! Still a good book and gives you another sobering look into what the world might be like soon if we don't shape up! "

" Yes, indeed, the future looks bleak. "

" I could not really get involved in this book. It became a struggle. The story just did not grab my attention. "

" A bit like How We Live Now but the British version. And of course the problem is man-created, not natural cause. While the character from How We Live is from a supportive well-bonded family, the girl from Carbon Diaries is in a more challenged family, making the perspective a trite more bitter. "

" This book is an interesting take on a possibility of the near future... although its not a book who feel offended by bad language and stuff like that "

" Futuristic book mixed with references of pop culture today; set in Britain. OK read, but better novels like this include Life as We Knew It and Last Book in the Universe... "

" clever premise, but i'm disappointed by the execution. the fact that i didn't give a flying flip about any of the characters was a contributing factor. also, i think the american cover is awful. "

" I enjoyed this dystopian book and it really did make me feel more aware of the many ways I consume carbon. It seemed very realistic. "

" Mediocre novel describing apocalyptic conditions in the UK as global warming's impacts are felt. "

" Good look at... a future where carbon is rationed and everything changes for a teen. Recommended if you liked the extreme weather and life changing consequences of LIFE AS WE KNEW IT. "

" this book is very reminiscent of Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer, but with an ecological twist. it's a fun, quick read and i really liked the little glossary at the end full of english words, ecological terms and green websites. "

" This book made me think about the impact of my everyday activities as much as any book from the environmental movement. Dubbed an Eco-thriller, I have to recommend this incredible story! "

" Georgia Nicholson in a dystopian state. A good read, not amazing, great at a push, but everyone will be able to identify with at least one character. "

" This book is very eye-opening. You don't know just how much you rely on electricity and things like fresh water. This book has changed the way I think about them now. I know I won't be able to really live without them but I will definitely be more conscious of just how much co2 I'm emitting. "

" What a scary look into a possible future for all of us if we don't change our ways. "

" Awesome book....the author's ability to tie in current events was exceptional "

" Interesting idea. Charming but a little dull. Would make quirky and funny low budget film. "

" Harsh and crude language still manage to get the message of global warming across. "

" Cooles buch über die zukunft...auch wenn alles zum schlimmsten gemacht wurde macht es überlegen und ist vielleicht sogar noch möglich!!! "

" For young adult audience, a great read as a cautionary future tale that makes you think about how we need to change our consumption of energy. Europe is way ahead of the US. "

" Didn't love this one, thought the last 50 pages kept me up later than planned. An interesting cautionary tale (occasionally too preachy) about the real dangers of global warming, and the "on the ground" impact of rationing for a (dysfunctionally) normal London family. "

" Yuck! I hate this book. DO NOT READ. "
