A review by dromwald
The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker
4.0
When I first started reading this I imagined it was going to be a black comedy. It does have humorous moments but it's pretty grim in places. However, the characters are brilliantly drawn and despite the grim subject matter - this does centre around the destruction of most of the Northern hemisphere via meteor storm after all - it illustrates throughout the resilience of the human spirit - and the human body.
It's part a story of survival but it is also a love story albeit not perhaps a conventional one. I particularly liked the main character who starts out as someone who is really pretty pathetic but through adversity and an epic slog across country turns into the sort of character that you find yourself cheering on.
Well worth a read.
