Daz 4 Zoe

A love story. Now, all those who know me will all be snorting and saying, "Oh, she's just going to go on about how pathetic and Romeoey and Juliety it is. She hates love stories." WRONG. Okay, partly right, but this isn't the point. Yes, I hate most love stories, but this was actually pretty good. It was one of those stories where you get that sudden feeling of, "BY THE BLACK BLOOD OF HARNON OAN! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN! OH MY CHARNA'S GUTS!" You know, when you can relate to the character. This book is set around 2050. It's really good, but it was written quite some time ago, so they mention some things that happened in 2004 and stuff, even though it was meant to be futuristic. But still. Awesome. I have to admit... Do I really have to? This book had me wiping a solitary tear of my cheek... And now I've just embarrassed myself.

Anyway. It has a lovely plot based around a rich kid that falls in love with a poor kid. The poor guy, who's name was Darren but calls himself "Daz", wants to be part of a gang that kills rich kids as part of a rebellion, but falls in love with Zoe before he has the chance to kill her. Zoe is the rich girl, she was out drinking with her mates in the poorest part of the city, a place which only welcomes the rich if they agree to pay extra, and,  you guessed it, a guy catches her eye and she falls in love with him... It's really amazing.

The story is written by both sides, both of them are trying desperately to meet again. Zoe is worried she will never see him again and will have to find someone else. She's worried he doesn't feel the same way. Daz has similar problems, and tries to find her school and find her home so he can talk to her. It's harder than it sounds, because he doesn't have a permit to live in the same place as Zoe.

In conclusion, Daz 4 Zoe, by Robert Swindells is an awesome book. To be read by everyone, especially those fond of romance.

So yeah, sorry for not posting for a while... I've been busy procrastinating. BUT MY LAZY DAYS ARE OVER! I WILL WORK!
