But for Nuclear Ho...I didn't mind Z for Zachariah. But for Nuclear Holocaust books, I wasn't a big fan of Louise Lawrence's Children of the Dust.<BR/><BR/>It was split into three parts - called Sarah, Ophelia and Simon. Sarah concentrated on a family surviving in a house after bombs had been dropped and the nuclear fallout getting to them. Ophelia concentrated on life in a nuclear war bunker. Simon concentrated on the aftermath when humans evolved into mutants because of the war, and started the whole world over with a brave new world and learnt from the human mistakes, and humans had almost died out.<BR/><BR/>I found some reviews on Amazon saying that they found the first two parts too depressing and they wished the book had started at the third part. A nuclear war book which starts with the aftermath of the nuclear war, just because nuclear war and its struggles are depressing? I never thought I'd find some people wanting to read a nuclear war book but complaining that there was a nuclear war in it!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13587220.post-42702302193647132972008-01-04T13:08:00.000+11:002008-01-04T13:08:00.000+11:00Tim - Ah, home ec.

Those were the days!<BR/>I'm still recovering from a Shaun of the Dead nightmare I had when I was ill. Ugh. Fork in eyes.

They made my brother's class study Z for Zacharia, maybe as a way of getting the kids ready for the inevitable nuclear holocaust that was to come. Though they never did show us how to cook radioactive zombie flesh in Home Ec. <BR/><BR/>I've been watching parts of 'The Omega Man' on YouTube in preparation for 'I Am Legend' coming to Australian cinemas. It's not a nuclear holocuast, but it should have a few zombies in it.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13587220.post-37418735418056415582008-01-04T10:30:00.000+11:002008-01-04T10:30:00.000+11:00I've been told broken sleep is terrible for me but...I've been told broken sleep is terrible for me but it still doesn't stop me from midnight prowling.
