3.75 stars - was just as gripping as the first book, but some of the events in this one felt a bit outlandish and unrealistic - still a fast-paced, enjoyable read though! v interesting to switch to Beth's pov and get some more perspective on how the rest of the world was affected.

Rounded down from 3.5 because I’m exhausted. That was 450 pages of adrenaline.

This was ok. I think, for me anyway, when you're reading a novel about the end of the world it's nice to have some kind of emotional connection with at least one of the characters, some one to root for. And there lies the problem with this book, I didn't like any of them, with the exception of Colin the monkey and that relationship didn't end well. There are some neat touches but some of the stuff that happens is bey0nd convenient, it's goof fun though and I bet the author and fun writing it. If you want to read one of Adrian J Walker's end of the word books read The Last Dog On Earth because that one is brilliant, it's got a dog that swears in it.

Ridiculous, violent, ghastly, offensive, excessive, gut-wrenching fun.

This is a sequel to The end of the World Running Club and is a great read. If you are a fan of post-apocalyptic books you should love this. Both of these books are available in Irish libraries.
Good followup to the original with a focus on the female half of the couple. I didnt realise this when I started the audiobook but was pleasantly surprised by the narrator, she really fit well with original narrator/story. I believed they could be a couple.
Possible spoiler.......
The only way that would have improved my experience would have been if they had got the original narrator (jot davis) to cover the husbands lines when he comes back into the story.
