A review by memandyme
The Scarlet Plague by Jack London

3.0

There was a tone similar to "Logan's Run" about this, if we singled out the life outside the dome in the story. I found it very interesting how the narrative from so long ago is very modern with today's issues (COVID19). I gave it three stars for the story it conveyed about the deterioration of life, but I would have liked to see more about the world and less of the small dwelling they had created. I also gave it a little more extra points because the three grandsons view points are sort of the divide we are currently seeing in modern america. Would have liked more showing and not as much telling. But, I understand the stories is focused on this one mans life, rather than the overall world considering the sudden lack of communication means outside California.
