Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon

3.0

---

Absolutely mediocre in every aspect. Not a bad book, not really a good book either, which is why it took me forever to finish it. I might reccomend the book if it were shorter, but given it's 900 page length it's not worth the time commitment for bland and predictable story. There is, I feel, only one developed character and it isn't the hero or the villain. As far as post apocolyptic stories go, this one did a fair job of witnessing the events as they unfold for each survivor, and how the quick disintegration of society. However, everything was so cut and dried: THIS is evil, THIS is good, people behave this way just because they are crazy...it lacked the depth it needed to foster my suspension of disbelief. Maybe skip it.
