Abgebrochen ab S. 160. Ich kann die vorhandenen Rezensionen absolut nicht nachvollziehen. Es ist als ob ich ein völlig anderes Buch in der Hand halte. Am schlimmsten fand ich die Flashbacks von Joe in seiner Firma und diesem öden Computerprogramm.
3.5/5. I enjoyed this read! Kind of weird to read it during a pandemic

I feel like such a cynic for not enjoying this, but I just could not stomach the cheese, especially towards the end. Bah-humbug. Plus, Joe, the protagonist, was such an irritating Nice Guy™ (or "failed Romantic", as Ironmonger put it), hero-boy. Ugh. This was the right time of year to attempt this book, but I guess I wasn't the right kind of reader...

Considering all the good reviews for this book, it probably just isn’t my cup of tea. It has a decent story that makes sense and likable characters, but I couldn’t bring myself to be excited about anything happening in this book.

i just don't know, man
i liked some parts of it, but others just felt incredibly superficial (especially the resolution and second half of the book), it was obnoxiously straight for reasons that added nothing to the story & while i think this is a story that should be told, it could have been told in a way more impactful and believable way. i saw glimpses of it at times, but the story and the level of drama and stakes of the story felt incredibly disjointed. it's weird to say "this book about a dystopian apocalypse could have done without it" but it really. could have done without the weirdly high apocalypic stakes. especially considering the fact that there isn't any resolution, the story is just. randomly over.
