Extinction Point by Paul Antony Jones

1.0

This book was one of the most poorly written apocalyptic novel I think I've ever read. It was even worse than some of the self published freebie kindle books I pick up sometimes just for the heck of it. The main character is so unbelievable. Some of the things she does or says are really just stupid. It's the end of the world and there are no people left alive in the world and she won't take 1/2 a day to teach herself to drive? What? You're going to cross the Canadian Rockies on a bike? In the winter? What the heck are you going to do with the dog you found? You gonna make the poor thing run all day long, every day, in all sorts of weather? Stop packing your backpack full of CANNED GOODS. OMG, why are you filling up a pack you're wearing on your back with CANNED GOODS? Have you even thought about how much boxed/canned foods will be just sitting in people's houses and in stores? There are no other people to fight for the resources. Take what you need when you need it and carry only a few things. Same thing with clothing. EVERYONE IS DEAD. Take what you need from stores/homes. No need to carry anything but a little water and the SAT phone. Emily has got to be the stupidest lone survivor I think I've ever had the misfortune to read.

This is one of the few books where I was begging the author to kill the protagonist. Just kill her. End this book. Put me out of my misery of having to finish this atrocity.

Don't read this book. Don't read the next two in the trilogy. Why do authors think their work is good enough for a trilogy? ? I don't care what happens enough to find out. Such a waste of 2 weeks that I spent listening to this on Audible.
