This is the worst post-apocolyptic book I've read, and I have read several. This is supposed to be one of the first books written on the topic, as it was written in 1949. As such, the dialog is odd and difficult to follow, and the book is definitely dated (for example, Ish turns on the radio and has to wait on the tubes to warm up). I made it about half way through the book before putting it down and posting it here. There is way too much self reflection by the main character. I was looking for more storyline and action. In my opinion, this doesn't compare to books like The Cell or I Am Legend.
