The most difficult part about this book was getting used to the lack of quotation marks. Once I got used to that, it flowed much more seamlessly.
Absolutely harrowing book. It reads like a thriller as you are unsure of what (or who) will be around the next corner.
I appreciated the dichotomy of the “good guys”. The father and son claimed to be the good guys, but in order to survive had to resort to bad guys behavior. In a post-apocalyptic world can values such as goodness really even exist?
This book held me on the edge of my seat, and I was certainly rooting for them the entire time.
The writing can be intellectual at times in a way that feels almost out of place with the setting and the standard writing style.
