Date: 17th September 2014
Venue: Thai Rack, Royston
Book score: 8.5
Powerful and topical story but without much literary refinement; nowhere close to a book like Blindness.
A post-apocalyptic novel that descends swiftly into a commonplace story of survival. The characters’ willingness to use extreme violence to achieve this doesn’t really convince, and certainly destroys any sympathy for them we started out with.
I enjoyed this more than others. Some of the scenes have remained with me longer than many, more literary books we have read and scored highly.
