Need to Want by Sava Buncic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Really interesting are the books that not only give you a story, but that also make you reconsider your thoughts and preconceived notions about your own existence and the meaning of a human life. This book is one of those in that we are given a story about Matron and Bruce and their extended family who all live in a cave system on a small island their parents had been stranded on, an undetermined while before. Their story of survival is not the only things in this book, however. Through the lens of this family surviving, we are posed a few questions such as: should humanity continue if you are one of only a few survivors left? How big does your group have to get before you start to feel less benevolent toward them and greedier to hoard things for your own wellbeing?
A very interesting subject and the author utilizes his storytelling in an efficient way to provoke us into a state of higher thinking without losing much in the storytelling. Certainly a book well worth the read.
