Helpful Score: 1
I've read a few reviews that stated that the reader just couldn't get into the book or that the writing style was off putting...well, I agree that the writing style is different. It is very minimalist: there is very little punctuation and it can be at times difficult to know whom is speaking. This, however, is done to convey the sence of desolation that the author is painting. The world is desolate, the writing is desolate. The book is very moving and enjoyable. It's is a world in total fear and death; mortal turmoil existing just to cease to exist. Lives are ruined and the world is ruined.
Even though it is never explicitly stated, the reader is led to believe that the world has been thrust into this state by the acts of men. I for one, hoped that is was some unseen cosmic event that forced death upon the world. I felt to me even more hopeless and frightening to believe that the state of this ruined earth was the result to waring nations.
This book is quite short and the page lay-out increases the book's size...the story is actually very short.
