Excellent survival story with great descriptions of how running can feel. There is a LOT of swearing involved so if that bothers you then I suggest you don't read it.

The main character is an asshole, and I found the narrator grating.

Post apocalyptic fiction isn't my usual choice and I expected more from this because of who recommended it to me. It's very much a book by numbers: major bad thing happens; there's a journey; there's a destination; the end. There wasn't much depth to the characters and it moved slowly particularly the last quarter. It's written well enough and wasn't terrible, it just didn't grab me.

An interesting dystopian, without the gore, and zombies that I usually read. It was fine. Just a story. No twists, or turns, pretty straight down the literary road. I probably will not read the sequel.

A different 'world ending event' to others I have read. Loved all the description of the places they saw. Really good story overall.

I received a free copy from Jellybooks. They request not to review the book more than one month from publication, which they list as September 2017. It looks like it's in publication elsewhere but I'll leave the review for another time.

This book was great! If you liked McCarthy's The Road or Fletcher's A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World you should like this book.
I read the audiobook version and it was well paced with great narration. The story itself has excellent descriptive world building, realistic character growth, and is just a great dystopian apocalyptic story.
