Kaitlin Scirri examines the dystopian world created by a previous nuclear war and its aftermath in her review of Patricia Forde's The List. Here, she describes survivors living in a community under rigorous control. Letta, the main character, is ruled by John Noa, who imposes a vocabulary restriction of just 500 acceptable words, excluding words that are associated with creativity and the arts. Drawing comparisons to historical occurrences such as the biblical flood, Scirri emphasizes the book's themes of censorship and the perils of disobeying scientific warnings. She says that even if the narrative is thought-provoking, readers under the age of thirteen should not read it because of its violent content. Lois Lowry's The List might captivate readers just as much.
