    A sad tale about life after the bomb.
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on 28 August 2011*

Brother in the Land is a novella about the lives of two English brothers after World War III and the effects it has on their lives, the community and the bleak future.  Danny is a teenage boy who's World comes to an end when the missiles fall.  Confusion and frustration cloud the youngster's mind as he finds himself in an unimaginable and hellish situation.  But that is nothing compared to the doom of the impending fallout and harsh winter along with starvation staring at him in the face.  What is an English kid gonna do when his life is changed forever?A found this book so dark, dreary and heartbreaking.  But it was entertaining and I wanted to read the entire book in one sitting.  Unlike some books that I read, I felt for the characters and sympathized with their situation (even though they were English).  Human suffering and it's condition knows no borders.  I really enjoyed the book, my only complaint is that I wished it was longer and more in depth.  But then I realize that it would even be more depressing.  If you are a fan of the nuclear war or post apocalyptic genre then I highly suggest that you find a copy.  I wish this book was more widely available.  Too bad a lot of these books are out of print.Highly recommended

    My First Glimpse of Post-Apocalypse Literature, At School
  

*by S***1 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2013*

I first came across Robert Swindells Brother In The Land back in my school days, in early 2000's when I was in the school library. As a teenager of fourteen years of age, I was already reading hard-hitting crime novels, and true-stories and so I liked the front cover of Brother In The Land. At the time I hadn't read any post-apocalypse literature, and I took the book home. I couldn't stop reading from the moment I got out of school that very same day, I was reading it on the way home and I didn't stop until I was home. The book may have only been approximately 160 pages long, but I enjoyed my reading and I was young so the book lasted me a week in total before I finished it.The first thing that caught me off guard, was that even as a teenage-aimed book it was very mature, and sadly realistic in some scenes. Swindells does not shy away from the content of the plot to his book, he doesn't try and ignore the dark reality of the event of the aftermath of nuclear war. From the terrifying reality of radiation poison from the nuclear blast slowly killing the survivors off, to the short supply of food and clean water and eventually the fight against bandits, and raiders intent on taking what they want. Swindells covers this terrifying, horrific situation perfectly with the main character of teenage boy Danny as he comes to terms with this new world. I had already read books about the mafia, and true crime but Brother In The Land hit home with me as my first end-of-the-world story. I felt for Danny, and the other characters of the book including his younger brother who is oblivious to the situation they all face, due to his age and naivety.Brother In The Land stayed with me most of childhood and even my young adult years, and one day last year I was browsing Amazon and came across the book with an newly added chapter at the conclusion of the original version, and I couldn't help but reminisce of when I first read the book. I had to have it, and I bought it for a good price and when it arrived it brought up memories for me, of sympathizing with Danny and his values, and morals be them miniscule with the situation of the land. I wondered once again, as I did when I first read the book of how I would have reacted in his very same situation, with my own younger brother. I don't think I could have made the hard decisions he made in the story, and it was good to read it again and remember that. A great book, still good for teenage readers but for adults still just as hard hitting as more modern adult titles. Give it a try people.
