Extinction Point by Paul Antony Jones
3.0
One of the shortest yet most disappointing reads I've ever had. This had such an interesting premise, but the delivery was terrible. The writing felt like I was reading a YA novel. The main character was really annoying. Let me quote some annoying or contradicting or stupid things that happened.
She didn't fucking mention the word food. All she said was dinner. The author could've said "The mention of dinner seemed to get Thor's attention " But no, the author seemingly concluded that dinner and food for dogs are the same thing.
She's probably the only one left in the place and the food in the grocery(even the canned goods) might get spoiled soon, but she fed her last few remaining food to the freakin' dog. Wait, there's fucking more.
She fed her last fucking can of corned beef to the dog. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs, but this is not practical. You should consider your life first before the dog's.
There is no way that a couple of energy bars really satisfied her hunger. This book is full of lies.
Now let's talk about that terrible ending. He didn't explain what the freakin' red rain is. He just ended with Emily and the dog. Sure we get the new alien thing, but he didn't explain it well enough. The book is so short, that's quite good, but short enough to be inadequate. This novel is mediocre as hell, but I don't even know why I liked it. I guess I like post apocalyptic shit even though almost all are the same. 3 stars at most, and guess what, I'm planning to read the sequel soon. The author better explain the main premise or his next book's going to receive not more than 1 star from me.
"Okay, big boy," she said, when she was finished and confident that was the only wound the dog had received during the fight. "How about I fix us some dinner?

Emily opened the final can of corned beef and fed it to Thor.
