She has to escape.
But who else is out there?
And can anyone survive days like this?

I want to go back to the days when life made sense. The days before our parents became strange; before the warming ate away at all the living things in the world; before The Committee and their Blacktroopers. Before the Wall.

I was really excited for this Aussie dystopia. That cover (!) The comparison to John Marsden's 'Tomorrow Series' (My fave series of all time) (!) and just general Aussie YA coolness (!) ;)

Also, 'Days Like This' was a grand finalist in the Amazon breakthrough novel competition (a really tough competition) ~ so my congrats on that.

Unfortunately, this is not the book for me.

It is no mystery that the Dystopian genre is growing. Looking into a far changed society that has become otherworldly, I sometimes forget that these things happen supposedly on the other side of the world. Well this book happens to take place in Sydney!

Days Like This follows Lily, who has not stepped outside of her house since the Wall was built. The Warming has stripped the land bare; anyone living outside the priviledged area around Sydney is left in the barren wasteland to perish without...more

She sprinted along the street, examining the Wall for some notch or hole to scurry into. There was nothing - just an endless smooth expanse. Black clouds writhed under the heavy sun as the morning closed on midday.

In one sentence: Fast paced read that has plenty of heart-stopping moments as it climbs to the climax.

Days Like This is a dystopia novel set in in Sydney. Where there is a water shortage due to global warming effects, the government has collapsed and the committee has taken over. They have built a wall to keep the poor and people who would question or fight back with the committee out. The streets are patrolled by the emotionless Blacktroopers. And the children are kept locked inside their homes.

I love the concept for Days Like This. Stewart did a great job of writing a believable and well built world. With all the damage we are doing to our planet, water shortage and extreme weather seems possible and completely scary. I also love the setting. Set in Sydney, I was able to picture it perfectly and it definitely felt Australian.

The plot is a constant thrill ride with danger around every corner. It is just go, go, go right until the end. Stewart's writing is easy to read but I lacked emotional connection with the story. I was entertained but not fully invested in what was happening unfortunately.

Lily is an engaging main character. I always like a character who doesn't give up, who isn't afraid to get amongst all the action but yet is still caring and kind towards others. Then we have Keiran who is just a genuine good guy. Brave, loyal and sweet. We also have a mixed bunch of secondary characters some likeable and some so not so much.

Romance has a very minor role and yet it felt a little out of place and awkward. Maybe the awkwardness had to do with Lily being locked inside her house for so many years and having no interactions with other teens. So possibly this is why it didn't feel natural especially towards Luca. It is has sort of a brief love triangle or rather a moment of confusion. Thankfully Lily's connection to Kieran felt more honest, just lacking spark.

Also Days Like This is a standalone. No cliffhanger and your questions answered. It is so nice to read a book and not be dying for book two.

Overall, despite my issues with Days Like These it is still a good read. It is a smart novel that gets you thinking about the future of the world while it takes you on action packed ride.(less)

Since I read to the 100 page mark, I rated this book. The book does way too much telling, the logic behind the world building doesn't make much sense AND it was way too preachy. It was the preachiness that stopped me.

When food and water is becoming scarce, it seems only the rich are entitled to a chance at survival. Those outside the Wall were left to defend themselves, while those within the Wall began a supposedly perfect life...

Twins Lily and Daniel, along with younger sister Alice, have been prisoners inside their own home for the last three years. They're not allowed outside or to converse with any of their neighbours, and all their schooling is done on a computer screen. Their only visitors include the slimy Max (or Maximilian as he likes to be called) and the terrifying Blacktroopers who come once every week to ensure they each take their pills. Pills said to ward off disease, but is that really what they do? Even worse, it seems everyday their parents are growing more and more distant. Hugs, kisses, signs of affection have become a thing of the past for Lily and Daniel - their once warm, loving parents have become self-absorbed, caring more about themselves and what they look like than their own children. They're slightly more favourable toward Alice, but the clear lack of love is disturbing.

One morning, Lily wakes to find Daniel gone. Gone from the house they're never allowed to leave. Her parents won't tell her where he is or who's taken him, they offer no explanation or comfort. Not only is Lily frantic with worry over her twin brother, but she has a growing sense of unease that she's about to disappear next. Can she escape before she's taken? Can she find Daniel.... alive? Can she save both her brother and her sister before they're both swallowed up in the sick and horrific ways of The Committee?

Lily's devotion to her siblings really shines through prominently. She's finds refuge beyond the Wall, but all that's on her mind while she's there is going back to rescue Daniel and Alice. She'd never be able to live with herself if she gave up and left them behind. It was nice to see such strong family ties, especially when any such bond was lacking from their parents. Lily's incredibly stubborn and persistent, she won't take no for an answer. She's got a good heart though, not only for her siblings but for everyone around her and I think that really helps to fuel the bravery she demonstrates throughout the novel. Even if that does lead her to stupid decisions sometimes, you've still got to admire her character!

There is a small amount of romance, although not really evident until near the end of the novel, but that's not at all an issue because the main goal throughout the book is to escape, to rescue and to survive these dark and trying times.

Days Like This highlights some of the problems we already see in today's society in quite a shocking way. The Wall began as a divide between the rich and poor, only allowing those with money and status to thrive in a dying world. And it soon morphed into a twisted community where vanity is everything - the fear of growing old and the thirst for power will drive people to sickening acts to achieve what they want. No matter the cost. No matter the lives lost. With the influx of dystopian novels we see set in the US, it's refreshing to read something close to home. If not a little unsettling!(less)

Lily, her brother Daniel and their little sister Alice have not left the house in three years.

Totally loved this book in so many ways. It's a wild ride for sure, fast paced but it's also skilfully written, not just an action driven extravaganza.
Thoughtful readers will see that there are many layers here, moral issues like the consequences of inaction on global warming, what to do about our dwindling natural resources, the powerlessness of young people, greed, corruption, and a perverse desire for immortality that's also reflected in today's society. Go dystopia!

2.5 stars. (This book was a solid 2 star read for me, until the final third, when I found the story became much more engaging.)

This is a difficult review to write (and a difficult rating to give), because I wanted to love this book. So badly.

I think I went into this novel expecting some kind of awesome hybrid of ‘Tomorrow When the War Began’ and ‘How I Live Now’ – and perhaps I was basing this assumption entirely on the striking cover, which I love. Unfortunately, despite the captivating synops...more

What made me want to read Days Like This was that it was set in Sydney, but a very different and changed Sydney than that which we know of today. No matter if it was set in Perth or some unknown shanty town in the country, I would have still been filled with excitement because it is set in Australia. Sure, there’s many contemporary books set down under, but not really much of dystopian, the current ‘thing’ growing in YA. We really haven’t had any dystopian story set here since John Marsden’s Tomorrow series. Alison Stewart gave us as Aussie readers a view into a damaging and corrupt society which could be a possibility for many of us in the future.

Days Like This is set in a dystopian Sydney where the Commitee controls. Rapid climate changes and disastrous natural disasters strike, immediately dumping those in the outer regions into poverty. Desperate people begin to seek refuge in the city, in need of food, water, shelter; the bare necessities. But the Committee cuts those without wealth and relations in order to successfully sustain its resources by using the Blacktrooper security force to build a wall around the city. Disobeying the Committee is not something you would want to do.

Lily, her twin brother Daniel and young sister Alice are lucky to live within the Wall. However, not all is what it seems. Their parents begin acting strangely and soon after, Daniel disappears before he turns seventeen. After the medications they are forced to take and the bracelets forced to wear to avoid them from escaping, Lily knows that something is wrong. That she could be next if she doesn’t escape. But she knows nothing about whats beyond the Wall where her answers lie. Surviving is all that it takes to find her brother and return for Alice too.

From the beginning I had a fondness for Lily. She exhibited traits which we find most endearing in a protagonist. Although stubborn and strong, she is benevolent to the point that she would risk her own life to not only save those she loves, such as her brother and sister, but rather those she had only just met. I loved this about her; a person for others. But at times it seemed like she was trying to always be ‘the hero’ than just being her ordinary self.

At times the plot is slow and steady but it isn’t until the last third that it takes a turn for the worst and packs an explosive punch. And yes I understand that this world is dealing with environmental issues and climate change and what not, and yes Alison wrote a thrilling, dramatic, intense, graphic tsunami scene, but what I found almost hard to believe from a ‘reality perspective’ is that the tsunami hit at the exact moment when Lily and co. were doing their ’thing’. Besides that, Alison’s description of these devastating scenes were easy to visualise. Walls of water towering over the city. Sydney Harbour being engulfed by water. The terror and devastation in its wake. I found myself caught up in the story just wanting the devastation to end. And then it subsided and I was finally relieved to breathe again.

Overall, Days Like This was a cunning new dystopian for Australian readers to devour, which packs a punch in all the right places. However, I don’t believe it needed the epilogue that it has as it felt cheesy after experiencing a whirlwind of a ride just beforehand. Without the epilogue, it would’ve left us craving for more and given us the chance to think what will happen next, rather than being force-fed an ending such as that. I wish I hadn’t read the epilogue and that is final.(less)

Great concept and I was hooked just reading quickly through the first chapter in the book store. I did have issues with the writing though. I felt that the characters could have been handled a little better. Given the dystopian world they were living in, the level of naivety was a big stretch and the 13 yr old sister came across more like a spoilt 5 yr old at times. The 'boy/girl' relationships in the post rescue phase seemed out of place. Having said that it is a racy read with plenty of action...more

Set after global warming, Sydney has been divided into the 'haves' and 'have nots' courtesy of The Wall which separates the two population groups. Those protected by The Wall, although appearing to live the better life, are terrorised by Blacktroopers, ruled by The Committee, and are forced to stay inside and take various tablets without knowing why. The reason behind many of The Committee's decisions are revealed early on. We then follow what happens as people try to escape this society.

Even though this book is aimed at the Young Adult age group, I loved it.

It was a quick read, as the suspense kept me going. A frightening tale, all the more so as it is potentially not that unrealistic.
So many of the issues that face us were entertwined into the tale -- global warming, obsession with youth, racism, possibly some reference to apartheid.

The Sydney setting was both appealing and scary for me, being a Sydneysider myself.

Futuristic Sydney is unlike anything anyone expects it to be. Because of Global Warming, The Wall has been built. Water levels have been rising, quakes happen, temperatures rise everyday and nothing's been the same in Lily's life ever since the Wall has been built by the Committee 12 years ago. Blacktroopers are everywhere and forcing people to take pills, her parents could care less of her, her twin brother's sick and she has never set foot out of the house in three years. All hell broke loose when her brother was taken, and Lily knew she will be taken next. Why? For what purpose? She had to find out and fast, before she disappears next, before her younger sister was taken too.

Welcome to the future. A horrible nightmare filled with teenagers being "harvested" and uncaring parents who'd do anything to defy the natural course of time. It's the evil face of science taking over this story. Vanity and cruelty go hand-in-hand in this scary tale. I think the tagline "As the world grows older, it's dangerous being young" pretty much sums up what this book is about. I was very horrified with lengths parents go through for their own selfish reasons and what the teenagers had to experience in turn. It was disgusting and even disturbing when I've read of what happened to Lily's younger sister Alice. Can people really be that selfish, to the point that they give away their own children for something unnatural?

Lily comes from a wealthy family, thus she's been living a sheltered life. All of that changed when she started questioning everything. The Committee, the pills, why her twin bother never seemed to get better. She comes off as a strong character at first, her love for her siblings evident all throughout the story. But Lily's persistence in rescuing her siblings came to a point where she became very irritating. That single-minded reason and purpose turned me off a little bit, but for all the horrors she had been through, unloved and suddenly alone, she's brave, though at times a bit impulsive and stubborn. It touched my heart that despite the tragedy that seem to constantly surrounds her, she found something worth living for when she crossed over that wall. I love how empowered the teens are in this book, although it's because of very grim circumstances.

I am so glad this book has a bit of romance in it, though very sparse and clearly it wasn't the intention of the book to be a romance novel, but it's a brief respite from what the book is really about, which was Lily breaking free of the fake life she's been confined to, and trying to get her family whole again, or at least those that matters to her. I got swept in too much emotions that I didn't care much how Kieran and Lily just seemed to be together. But I guess even in the midst of despair and devastation, that's when people see clearly how important love can be.

So many aspects in Days Like This can be seen even today. The great divide between the rich and the poor, the thirst for power and man's desire to never grow old, maybe to live forever, trying to deny themselves what was supposed to happen. We live and then we die, and if humans so much as try to disrupt that simple but natural truth, the consequences can be fatal. Man's tendency to be evil to get what one wants is depicted in this book in vivid, frightening detail. It's very unnerving, but I think that just gave this book so much appeal.

Days Like This will shock you, scare you and most of all, make you reflect just how much a society can deteriorate and become as terrifying as Alison Stewart's first novel turned out to be. It's a novel that will bring you to an edge of your seat reading experience, bleak and dark and filled with doom, but it's one that you won't be able to put down until you reach the ending.(less)

This is a great book. The protagonist Lily is a very strong hearted character that has gone through a lot of pain that not everyone could bare. This is set in a futuristic Sydney, Australia, after a wall has gone up, blocking off all communication to the outside of the wall. The main antagonist in the book is the Committee, the "government" of this place, and their henchmen the Blacktroopers. This dystopian novel would go on my list of the top books this year.
