A review by verlkonig
The Scarlet Plague by Jack London
2.0
Interesting to read an apocalyptic novel written in 1912, about the apocalypse in 2013. However, it managed to be slow moving for such a short novella, and I found it difficult to have any sympathy for our main character as he accounts his time during the plague.
This is probably because he rambles on so mightily about he was a great man of learning who was of good breed etc etc... meanwhile the working class are described as slaves who descended into brutishness, drink and lechery as soon as the shit hit the fan, causing havoc while the university folk valiantly batten down the hatches.
Not for me I'm afraid!
