“It’s a lighter post(sort of)-apocalypse.
There are some interesting elements to the book, for sure. The style of having a series of short stories that take us through the narrator’s life allow us to see the re-crumbled society, some of the middle, and then the end.
There are some really good scenes in here, but if you’re looking for a sort of action-packed apocalypse/survival thing, this isn’t your best bet.
The two stars are only two because the book went into a bit of a romance thing that didn’t really do a whole lot for me towards the middle. That’s me, I guess. It’s an interesting idea to consider that people will still be in love and what not during the apocalypse, but the somewhat detached voice, which makes sense as that’s the character’s survival tactic, doesn’t mesh all that well with the romantic portions for me.
Ultimately, it’s not bad and pretty short at 199 page, which is a plus in my book. If you are reading, at least get up through the story with the main chaacter’s horse running away. If you’re not feeling it after that, I say put it down.”
