A review by katko123
Year One by Nora Roberts
3.0
Actually 3,5 stars.
I had no idea what to expect. I just opened kindle and kind of randomly picked a title. Normally I would check reviews and opinions, ask peopled whom I trust. Not this time, don´t ask why. I don´t know myself.
Cottage, snow, family gathering, remote village somewhere in Scotland, xmas/new year holiday period = awesome climate that I fell into since very first page. Where to go to from there?
Twist.
New York and a sweet, sugary sweet couple in a loft. Not my cup of tea. But it wasn`t too bad, actually.
Twist. Plague. People are starting to die. Many people. Many, many people.
World as we now has ended but not life. Some people made it through. Who, how and why?
So without spoiling the pleasure of reading I can tell you, that this book surprised me. I thought, judging by the name of the author, I had stupid romance book in my hands. Instead I had a few interesting nights in post-apo world. Yes, there is romance but, again, not too bad.
I like the idea, characters evolving, darkness and mystery swirling with goodness and hope. Easy language, a lot of dialogues, sometimes too easy and too many. Also there are some gaps in logic, not everything is well thought through.
So if you are looking for an entertainment then this is a good choice. If you are looking for intelectual entertainment, without logic gaps and serious questions (it´s called literature) than go for Jose Saramago´s "Blindness".
