Nature's confession

One hundred and fifty years ago, the monster began, this country had become a place of industry. Factories grew on the landscape like weeds. Trees fell, fields were up-ended, rivers blackened. The sky choked on smoke and ash, and the people did, too, spending their days coughing and itching, their eyes turned forever toward the ground. Villages grew into town, towns into cities. And people began to live on the earth rather than within it.”

----Patrick Ness, an award-winning novelist


J.L. Morin, an American author, pens her new book, Nature's Confession where the author takes p a funny side to craft a sci-fi story about giving birth to a pollution-free planet Earth, that is centered around two teenagers trying to save the nature.


Synopsis:

‘Honestly, it’s not my fault. I didn’t mean to invent them. Humans were polluting the planet to desolation. What else could I do? I had to save her.'

Their planet is choked with pollution. THEY can’t do anything about it . . . or can they? When a smart-mouthed, mixed-race teen wonders why the work that needs to be done pays nothing compared to the busywork that’s glorified on holovision news, the search for answers takes him on the wildest journey of anyone’s lifetime. Just as the human race allows corporations to pollute Earth into total desolation, institute martial law and enslave humanity, the two teens set out to save civilization. Can they thwart polluters of Earth and other fertile worlds? The heroes come into their own in different kinds of relationships. On their team, six-legged Wuhvie, and Any Gynoid, who pushes the frontier of scientific discovery through the Big Bang to reveal . . . the most intimate confessions of Nature . . . . Will Starliament tear them from the project and unleash ‘intelligent’ life’s habitual pollution, or will youth lead the way to a new way of protecting Nature?


Boy is a 14 year old mixed race teenager who has a half-sister, Kenza, who is actually a clone of his mother, father, Porter, who lies and cheats on his wife, and being fallen as a victim of emotional turmoil, the boy's mother dedicate herself to climate-related anti-planetary politics. Valentine is a 16 year old red-haired genius, who is a master of particle physics and is also the boy's dream girl and the boy doesn't even know whether she is real or not when he is hired by an underworld agency to write code for them. They all live on the planet Earth where pollution rules over everything and the government actually pays more money to make the air stale and un-breathable. But then this whole family take up the mission to save this planet by protecting nature and curbing pollution from the face of the Earth.

This is an amazing book and I believe, it's steady pace does complete justice for the readers to gradually grasp all those difficult scientific events. The writing quality is very skilled and polished and the author have intricately laid out her complex plot. The social and environmental issues over-ruled by politics and the government is layered and masked with a sense of humor which at times cracks the readers up. But the terrifying part about the nature and pollution is strikingly featured into the plot which sets a fear up into the readers mind.

The author lets us contemplate with her story through her strong and well-developed characters. Now the characters' demeanor are kept very close to realism, but each character proves brilliant imaginative mind of the author. The evocative narrative style mixed with wit and humor makes it easier for the readers to get lost and engaged into the very core of the storyline. Although the author have narrated the tale through the boy's POV, still, it feels like the readers cold easily blend in with each and every character.

There is not much romance in the book especially between the boy and Valentine, since most part of the book, he believed Valentine to be an unreal entity of his mind, but the first time meeting between them is depicted through a lot of sparks and compassion. The author have poured out a lot of deep emotions through out the story. The adrenaline rushing adventures scenes through the big bang are very vividly captured by the author, which gives a lo9t of momentum to the story.

Overall, this is a compelling climate science fiction that demands a bit of patience from the readers' side to easily comprehend with it's storyline, because the ends-result is really fruitful, terrifying as well as funny and satisfying.

Verdict: A must-read book for all YA science fiction fans who are bored of reading same style of dystopian stories.
