Not only did this book have a really stupid and annoying main character, it had a really rubbish ending! Will Ruby survive the Rain? Do we really want her to? Thanks to Pan Macmillan and Netgalley.)ġ5-year-old Ruby is more concerned with snogging some boy than the ‘Rain’ – contaminated water that kills you if you touch even one drop. (Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. So to sum up.the bad reviews are for the wrong reasons, get this book it's brilliant. I may not smear myself in make-up but would steal and go crazy if people are dying all around me, and although there are traumas for ruby, there are many bits of good humour in the book. There are people slating what ruby does in the book, such as her own mini riot, but as a teenager I can safely say this book is extremely relatable. Personally I think this is the best book I have read this summer, beating the trilogy 'the hunger games' which I would describe as similar in the style of writing, e.g strong female character leading it, with a few traumas thrown in. I understand these comments but is it not the same with any book? People are happy to accept science for zombie apocalypses, or magic skeletons, but not for rain that kills you? It's ridiculous! They do not like the idea of the apocalyptic rain as it is a creepy idea, or they don't like Ruby as they think she should not have been able to get that lucky and survive. I have looked at reviews of this book and many bad ones are from adults, I am a teenager and I do understand where they are coming from however people are reviewing this book badly for the wrong reasons.

DON'T LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS!!! THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT
