From the main characters to supporting characters, the reader is able to see the struggles, temptations, and sacrifices people faced during this living nightmare.

The authors use multiple points of view to demonstrate the different outlooks on the tragedy at hand. However, it is not only the suspicion of who to fully trust in the novel that creates a desire to keep reading, but the unforeseen twists and turns that lead to an indescribable and jaw-dropping climax. The Shustermans also make the reader question who their loyalty belongs throughout the novel as secrets begin to unravel throughout the novel, creating heart-racing tension between the main characters.

The authors builds unlikely scenarios that question the true morals of each protagonist and aids them down a path of growth within themselves in order to focus on the important objectives of surviving the waterless apocalypse. Both authors have a phenomenal writing style that dives deep into human emotion and demonstrates a whole new level of building yourself as a person meaning, what risks a person is willing to make, what habits to push down and what it takes to make the protagonists willing to cross the line. “Dry,” by Neal Shusterman and son, Jarrod Shusterman is a novel that barely scratches the surface of true imagination.
