What To Eat During The Apocalypse was a quick-paced comedy that was rather fun. The writing style felt adjacent to Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and is good for fans of Douglas Adams. I especially liked the inclusion of the recipes at the end- I'll probably try some out when I get the chance.
This book fell flat for me on two aspects though- characterization and pacing. I wasn't particularly compelled by the characters, and I disliked being in the main characters head. The pacing of the story was consistent until about 70% in- where it rapidly picked up pace with a timeskip that was barely explained. This definitely knocked down my enjoyment, so ultimately I give this book 3/5 stars.
