4.5

Picked this out from a random lineup up of recommend books.
Cormac McCarthy-esque, post apocalyptic story with surprising reveals that the author doles out with time and at the right moments. What I loved about it was that you just weren't sure when  this is supposed where to be. The setting and the time lend itself to a feeling of a spanning of history in one moment in time. It's well done. I was wonderfully surprised by it.
