Personally I think this is the best book I have read this summer, beating the trilogy "the hunger games" which I would describe as similar in the style of writing, e.g strong female character leading it, with a few traumas thrown in. I understand these comments but is it not the same with any book? People are happy to accept science for zombie apocalypses, or magic skeletons, but not for rain that kills you? It's ridiculous! They do not like the idea of the apocalyptic rain as it is a creepy idea, or they don't like Ruby as they think she should not have been able to get that lucky and survive. I have looked at reviews of this book and many bad ones are from adults, I am a teenager and I do understand where they are coming from however people are reviewing this book badly for the wrong reasons. DON'T LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS!!! THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT

Guidotti-Hernández, The University of Texas at Austin Jason Ruiz, University of Notre Dame Half A Lion is inspired by, and taps into, that rich vein of legends and folklore. Even more, I would listen to my grandfather tell stories of our tribe and family, of personal legends (like an ancestor who fought off a tiger with bare hands and earned the moniker HAND OF A TIGER, a name I inherited), and gruesome battles (like magically burying the raiders of a rival army and allowing one survivor to return with the demoralizing news that stopped further incursions). How could I be poor when I had magical powers going to a boarding school for the gifted ( Harry Potter), or a mysterious man who recently came into some fortune and seeks revenge ( The Count of Monte Cristo)? I sought refuge in those stories. As a kid growing up in a small town and a lowly neighborhood, I never knew we were poor, even though my mother constantly reminded me of it.
