Crit Regarding Books The Other Side of the Island

Wow! This book was amazing amazing amazing! Ive read other books like this beforewith other worlds and over governmentsbut this was by far the best one yet! I read it in almost one sitting. It was so captivating and interesting! Honor and her parents live on an island under the watch of Earth Mother and her many rules, but Honors family doesnt follow most of those rules. They have an illegal second child, stay out past curfew, and even Honors name, in which the H is silent, doesnt seem

The first half of this book felt really, really slow. There's a lot of setup, and not just the world building, which is pretty strong. Goodman does a good job of building a society with very strict rules that are fairly easy to follow. Building it around the threat of global warming grounded it in reality enough to be at least somewhat believable. The first half is basically about the main character, Honor, adjusting to a very controlling totalitarian environment. It was a little annoying to me

In the eighteenth year after, long after the enormous flood that took place in the North, a young girl named Honor moved on Island 365 with her parents in the Tranquil Sea. After moving, Honor notices many obvious differences from living in the North, to living on the Island. Honor and her family are ranked in the lowest class of society and lives in a broken down house near the fearful shore of the Tranquil Sea. All of the people of the Island worshiped Earth Mother as their leader. Earth

This is another of those "scary future" worlds. Global warming has resulted in melted ice-cap, world-wide floods and destruction. As the book opens, one family has been "retrieved" from the north islands where they were basically hiding out, and assimilated into the current society of the southern islands. The government is under the control of Earth Mother who promises to protect and shield the planet from future destruction by use of weather control, and literal shields that stretch over the

I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. The plot was really good but the character development just wasnt there. It felt like all of the characters were the same person with different names and there was no character growth. Honor as a 10-year-old was the same as Honor as a 14-year-old.One aspect of the book that I did find really interesting was the conundrum that Honors parents were in. They, being revolutionaries, were having difficulty coming to terms with letting their

Well, weve finally gone and pissed off Mother Earth. We finally mucked up the planet enough and The Flood was sent to put us in our place. Never fear, because the Corporation and the Earth Mother are here to save the day! The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman takes place in the eighteenth year of Enclosure (where its always sunny and green under the dome), long after Mother Earth dumped on us in the form of the Flood. This is Honors story (silent H, which is a no-no, since she was born

Another dystopia! This one reminds me a lot of The Giver, but with a clearer setting, more information about how this place has come to be, and actually more realistic options for the people in the story. Honor and her parents have been reassigned to live on Island 365 in the Tranquil Sea. Her parents don't quite fit in, and neither does she in this extremely regulated place. In their first apartment, the Neighborhood Watch arrives to tell them that they are not allowed to sing Honor to sleep to
