Praise for The Young World: "A post-apocalyptic teen novel that's
far from just another post-apocalyptic teen novel."--Kirkus
"The Young World is captivating with its constant action that will
draw readers in and keep them enthralled until the very
end."--VOYA
"The Young World is a thrilling post-apocalyptic
page-turner."--Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a
Wallflower
"[A] pretty irresistible spot to end, guaranteeing interest in the
remaining two novels of this promised trilogy."--The Bulletin
"A broken NYC is so compelling that readers will find it hard to
put this book down."-- School Library Journal
"Telling his story in the alternating voices of Jeff and Donna,
noted film director Weitz, in his first YA novel, has done a good
job of meticulously building his postapocalyptic
world."--Booklist
"The fascination of turning allusiveness into action may even
explain the desire of an author as potentially imaginative and
original as Chris Weitz to write such crisply practical, such
shrewdly shameless, popular entertainments."--The New York Times
Book Review
"This is a page-turner that will hook readers from the
beginning."--Library Media Connection
"Weitz offers a satisfying YA interpretation of the Greek classic
Anabasis, brimming with grisly encounters and gallows humor. He
also finds room to touch upon issues of race, class, commercialism,
and sexuality in nuanced moments that are sharply juxtaposed with
the near-constant dangers and seeming hopelessness of the larger
picture."--Publishers Weekly
