Beautiful post-apocalyptic book. And Canadian to boot!

Snowman, the narrator, is not a nice guy. He only had 2 friends when the world ended and it's because he's a jerk. But, now, he is seriously alone. This does not make him a better person. There are just fewer people for him to be a jerk to. But, I did find myself sympathetic to his loneliness.
And the flash back story of how the world got to this place is engaging. Some of it is frighteningly similar to what is happening hereandnow.

Took a while for the story to become interesting, and the references to CDs and DVDs pulled me out of the story every single time, but overall it's a pretty good tale.

Extremely boring first half, then gradually got more and more exciting. Last 20% was very exciting and then the book ended right when it was really getting good.
