A review by thebigness
Far North by Marcel Theroux
4.0
The editor/ proofreader should be fired from a cannon into the sun. The book is littered with typos to the point where it was distracting and disruptive of the story being told. Now to the story itself:
while it is certainly not the greatest post apocalyptic novel I've read it had a lot of charm and some different ideas regarding the end of things as we know them. some cliches crept in throughout the story but this by no means made it a bad read. I liked that leading lady though her name and the reason behind it seemed like a flimsy excuse for a character with an odd name.
This novel does an excellent job of skirting around the issue that brought about mankind's doom so that you stay rooted in the present of the story. The end of the book also kind of suggests why it isn't important to know what happened. That being said there were some repetitive sections of people pining for the good ol' days that got kind of dry.
Overall I enjoyed this and would suggest it if you're looking for a different end of days book.
