The Compound by Stephanie A. Stuve-Bodeen

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow, this one was pretty cool. A teenage boy, whose father is a billionaire genius, tells the story of his life since his family locked themselves into their bomb shelter for fifteen years, due to nuclear attack. The book starts in year six, when the food supply is dwindling, and several of Eli's father's plans for long term survival have proven ineffective. No one is very happy or content in there self-imposed prison, but they all play along with Dad because they believe all was lost on the nuclear attack, including Eli's twin brother, and beloved Grandmother. That is until Eli stumbles upon an intermittent internet signal, and discovers all is not as his father implied. Could Eddy still be alive, and can his father be trusted at all? A pretty gripping read, especially the part about the supplements....yuck!
