I've always felt an abyss-like fear open up in front of me whenever I think of nuclear war, another reviewer mentioned the equally harrowing Threads tv show shown in 1984 on the BBC which terrified me as a 14 year old, and so it proved with this book. I was gripped by the realistic description but didn't want to read on at the same time. This is a book that was very popular in the 80s, when I was a teenager. I remember lots of kids at school reading it and liking it, but for some reason it didn't appeal to me, so I didn't read it. Having now read it for the first time yesterday, I think my teenage judgement was quite wise! It's written in an interesting, suspenseful way. And Danny is a believable, likeable narrator, with a distinctive voice and character. But there came a point where I didn't want to know what happened next, and I wished he wasn't such a likeable lad - because the things that happened got gradually more and more awful. There are quite a few moments of hope, where it seems that things are looking up, but invariably these hopes are dashed, and things get much worse. It's quite emotionally draining to read. I feel quite glad I didn't read it as a teenager.

The protagonists discover that a concentration camp has been erected on a farm outside of Skipley, with the remaining able-bodied population being used as slave labour under the Commissioner's rule. Members of Masada decide to step up their campaign of resistance, and launch a night raid on the camp. After a battle, the Commissioner is overthrown and Branwell is established as the new leader. Danny is a main character of the play. He is a fifteen year old teenager who is a resident of Skipley. He is a son of Richard and Marry Lodge. He also had a brother Ben. Danny is a round character as he does not remain the same throughout the play. There was a huge difference in his personality after the nuclear war. Break the Cutie: Curiously subverted with Dan’s seven-year-old brother Ben, who seems to take in his stride the ruination, shortages and danger. I found it all quite sad but politically powerful nonetheless, especially the motives of the "army" that takes control after the blast - did anyone else think "Yeah, that's precisely what would happen"?

This is such a gripping story. It’s also horribly, heartbreakingly sad. After a nuclear cataclysm transforms the world as they know it, the survivors are thrown into a cruel new reality. Competing for scant, dwindling resources is nothing to the ugly feudal society they’ve all been forced into. Danny says that they had been living with Branwell for ages. Danny is sure and says that the Skipley survivors have grown food in the farm and have poisoned the well so that people work for them. Kim enters. Danny fancies ( likes ) Kim, so he wants to asks her out ( But remember, he doesn't ask her out YET ). The romance stays for a while and finishes when Kim says that she took part in the Ambush. Danny reminds her that the ambush is deadly but the only reaction of kim was that " We Need More Weapons" which means that they needed more people.
