5.0

A thrilling novel that oftentimes reads a little close to the truth. Wright almost prophesises the state of humanity and our planet with 'The End of October' and should serve as a wake-up call to readers. Though at times the plot can be dark, Wright keeps the reader on the edge of their seat through all the twists and turns until the final page.
