i could see the potential in the concept - bunch of wealthy people in a closed-off compound, in a world where radiation sickness is killing off the population. however, i found this incredibly dull and it took me forever to finish even though it's a short novel.

Juste après une apocalypse. Nous lisons le journal d'un survivant suffisamment riche pour se payer une chambre à l'hôtel Termush.

Les chapitres courts retranscrivent parfaitement le sentiment d'urgence vécue par le personnage.

Le livre abordé ingénieusement les thèmes de droit à la vie, de l'entraide, du rapport à l'autorité et le conflit entre le devoir de vérité et le mensonge motivé par l'intérêt des personnes auxquelles on ment.

Il est aussi montré comment l'argent, s'il peut tout acheter, n'apporte pas certains des éléments nécessaires à l'épanouissement. Comment son fonctionnement entre en opposition avec l'humanité de celui qui en use.

Se lit extrêmement vite, aucune raison de ne pas le lire !

La fin ouverte doit le rester.

It did keep me hooked until the end but it lacks something. The premise, the story is promising and very interesting but had it been longer the book could have had more depth to it. I get the idea behind this story but it kinda feels flat.

This has an interesting premise, but the writing is very flat. I was hoping for more conflict between the folks who stay in the hotel, but there isn’t much characterization. It’s more a microcosm that represents larger societal patterns and human behavior (the rich avoiding disasters by hiding away with their money, more privileged folks ignoring the plight of everyone else, hoarding, etc.). So the people in the story are more often spoken about as groups, except for Maria who is just kind of there.
