The End of Time: The most captivating book you'll read this summer by Gavin Extence, Gavin Extence
4.0
Extremely well researched and a fascinating insight into the plight of refugees. It took a while for me to get into the story and I found the style a bit dry, but as I got further into the book, I became more captivated.
The surprising aspect was how many people were sympathetic and keen to help throughout the arduous journey from the Middle East and on to Europe and beyond. Gavin Extence mentioned in his very interesting Author’s Note at the end, for every person ranting against refugees on social media, there are probably 10 who are doing everything they can to help. Sadly, “compassion tends to be much quieter than anger and ignorance and prejudice”.
