The novel The Children of Men is about the last few fertile men living on earth in the year 2021and how it is extremely hard to conceive a child do to the unknowing of men becoming infertile that year. The book starts off by saying that the last child born with the possibility of bearing children has died making it virtually impossibly for the human race to succeed. The thought of the race crumbling around them is a hard thought for the men to sallow, and a hard concept for everyone to grasp creating the fear that the human race will soon die out. With little to no idea as to how to continue the human race the fear becomes more alarming everyday. The book also goes on to say that those not affected by the extremely odd epidemic will have little to no chance to save the world do to the rapid decline in population and the inability to repopulate the world. In a way this book could foreshadow what could happen to the human race in the future. I recommend this book because it shows that the world in unpredictable in that anything is possible, and anything can happen to the human race. This book is also a quick read and thrilling for those who like thrilling, bone shaking, and reality checking novels.
