The premise was terrifying and overall I liked the book but it was a LOT of information and the perspective shifted to a lot of different places/people which made it a little tedious at times.

Zunächst ein wenig schleppend, war es später schwierig, das Buch aus der Hand zu legen. Es erscheint gut recherchiert und nicht allzu abwegig.

Blackout has always been a very frightening concept for me. The book showed what could happen during a blackout. It was a bit too long and not so thrilling. Some things were unnecessarily repeated a few times and for me there was more talking than doing.

How come this book has such high notes? I find it pretty boring. There are absolutely no surprises or moments of terror. I haven't connected with a single character nor felt sorry for people suffering. The dialogues are dumb as heck. What was the most interesting part are the technical specifications of power plants (whether they were true or not).

I got this book through a radio contest, so at least I haven't paid for it, but before the contest I had a chance to listen to the interview with Marc Elsberg and it was so interesting I got curious of his book. How come an interview is more interesting than a book itself? Why do one need almost 800 pages to tell such a dull story?

I do NOT recommend it with all my heart or at least I do not recommend reading it in Polish (because I strongly suspect the translation ruined anything good that was in this book).

Terrifyingly realistic.
