The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker

1.0

Definitely not my favorite book. I thought the concept was really interesting and had potential, but the author’s repetitive to the point of uninteresting/skippable descriptions of the blackened, charcoaled, grotesque world around them, his need to mention farts more than once, and (for me) a gratuitous use of the f-word ruined it. Maybe that was the point, to feel like I’m in the mind of this fatalist man in his thirties, but it felt graceless and cemented that I would like to never return to the mind of a man in his thirties ever again. One star because despite all that, I was interested and somewhat invested in what happened to Ed and I felt like he did have character development. I also enjoyed Rupert’s character a lot, even though his appearance was short.
