The Roar

Title: The Roar
Author: Emma Clayton
Year First Published: 2009
Page Count: 496
Synopsis:
Mika and Ellie live in a future behind a wall: Solid concrete topped with high-voltage razor wire and guarded by a battalion of Ghengis Borgs, it was built to keep out the animals, because animals carry the plague. At least that's what Ellie, who was kidnapped as a child, has always been taught. But when she comes to suspect the truth behind her captivity, she's ready to risk exposure to the elements and answer the call of the wild. Listen. Can you hear it? She's strapping on her headset, jumpstarting her Pod Fighter, and--with her capuchin monkey at her back--she's breaking out!

Profanity Violence Sexual Content
A noticeable amount of made up swearing that can be understood to be replacements for real swearing. Only the slight hints of budding romance.
Characterization Plot Overall Rating
I really liked it and the following book. Some readers may have a problem with the slight focus on the idea of evolution and humans being closely connected with nature.
