I enjoy reading many different genres of books and post apocalyptic is one of my favorites. I'm a reader, not a writer, so this review may not entice anyone to add this book to their TBR list, but don't hold that against the book. It's a "2014 National Book Award Finalist."
The plot involves a virulent, almost instantaneously, spreading pandemic. The survivors must find a way to live in their new world. The story moves back and forth in time between the pre and post eras, following an actor, who is stricken in the first chapter, through the lives of people he knew, both well, and barely.
I found the number of characters confusing at first, (I made my own wiki to follow them,) but I loved this story in spite of and because there were so many characters.
There are no life lessons in this one, just a look at humanity in all it's forms
