Earth Abides by George R. Stewart

3.0

Enjoyed this book, a quick read. Good for a snow day. I agree with other reviewers about how dated it seemed. But still I read it, the dated factor just made it more interesting to me I suppose. I liked the actual narrative better than the italicized "observations" throughout the book. This is probably the first post-apocalyptic book I've read in which the characters didn't really plan ahead/shore up resources for the future. I thought that was an interesting element and I found the worrying of Ish appropriate and much like myself had I been in a similar situation. I would recommend this book.
