This book is a 5 star because of the person, oh yeah, I mean character Emily! She rightfully stole the book by being the one to look up to, to follow, to obey, to listen to, and to love! She is an awesome 16 year old living in a most gruesome world to have to face daily with no sun for decades! Help! But yet she keeps every one going on and on, and day after day! And besides that, no parents! Her mother died from the poisoning outside and her dad , at first thought to be dead but then not really reachable when he does show up, that's all I say about him! Emily and Justin (her bro) stick together! ENDURE = EMILY. Please read the book of you like futuristic reads and teen/adult I believe you'll really enjoy this action packed story with LOTS OF TWISTS AND TURNS PLUS ACTION until near the ending. Then you get a jump of about 50 years and she tells you about her life now!
