I loved the way this book gave an in-depth view of how the Amish went about their daily lives and their daily customs. The Amish are known for being very devout in their religion and they live by the word of God. Being from Pennsylvania myself, I grew up surrounded by the Amish and already had a good idea about how their communities worked. They don't use electricity or drive cars. If you aren't familiar with the Amish, they are known as being a peaceable community that reside in Pennsylvania. The small things in this book were just delightful additions. The fact that he could still find magic during the collapse of civilization just made this book such a pleasurable read. It's actually just a leaf dangling from a thread of a spider's web. One of my favorite parts of this book was when Jacob focuses on describing the magic of a leaf that looks like it is floating in the air. It taught me the lesson to slow down and to appreciate the small things in life. I think this is a big part of why I loved this book so much. This book really made me think and realize that I do not appreciate the simple things in life, such as having a car, internet, or even air conditioning.

When the English Fall was such a unique take on a dystopian novel that I found myself stopping mid-read to think about the way that I live my life. This is not your typical survival dystopian story, it's more of seeing the world through the eyes of the Amish community.

The story is told through Jacob's journal entries. This is a dystopian novel unlike any other, as it takes the point of view of an Amish man named Jacob. They are so busy, they have no time to see God or each other.'
