The New Wilderness

I don't really know what I was expecting, probably something a bit more highbrow with some deep hidden meanings. This is just a better than average dystopian novel with a pretty lame ending, in fact I hated the ending. The New Wilderness refers to a vast area of untamed land, untouched by humans, but they put 20 humans in there to see if they can live without harming the environment. I hated pretty much ALL the characters, especially Carl who basically wants to repopulate the world with little Carls, but the relationship between mother and daughter is really interesting and watching that develop was the best thing about the book. Like I said, hated the ending, nearly lopped a star off but it is Christmas.
