A review by jahlapenos
Far North by Marcel Theroux

4.0

I don't think in my history of reading that I've ever read something as bleak as this. The landscape is forever covered in a hoary ice; the people are puritan white and black; the only color is provided by the shimmering Northern Lights. And for all the violence, even the blood is muted and cold.

I really enjoyed the book, but I definitely will not be reading it again. It brings up questions that are neither answerable nor good for a soul to ponder too freely.

If you do pick this up, and if you like post-apocalypse fiction, I highly recommend that you, I'd suggest you balance out your reading of it with either something else funny and light to read or do as I did and watch The Big Bang Theory for the duration.
