Write an inspiring review of the book, which gives people a good idea what the book is about and which will certainly entice them to read it.

I think it's a good book, which is easy to read. It's also very interesting to read what people will do, when they know the world becomes to destroy and all people will die, including themselves. Except that the book is a bit longwinded, it's a very good story.
