A review by truittclark
Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank

4.0

It's kind of funny how several other sci-fi books I've read are written almost in the exact same style as a book released over 60 years ago, albeit usually with a little more profanity. Frank imbues his story with plenty of optimism, though much of this requires the main characters being in extremely lucky circumstances. It's a surprisingly hopeful novel. Would have been interesting to see exactly how this was received when it was first released.
