A review by the_loudlibrarian
The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick
3.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. A student urged me to read this, and it was a quick, interesting one. In a future with a setting that kind of reminds me of The Scorch Trials mashed up with Ready Player One, there are normal, terrible places, and one utopian place where “proovs” (enhances humans) live. A kid with epilepsy, nicknamed Spaz, fights through street gangs with the help of an old man named Ryter (who is writing the last book ever) to find his former foster sister, who is ill. The slang in this one reminds me of Feed and may be off-putting to some readers, but those willing to push through will be rewarded with a book that makes the reader think. Recommended for grades 6+.
