Well having a week off has allowed me the time I wouldn't usually have to get through this one. I enjoyed it, it was in parts profound. I enjoyed the focus on the artistic, technological and cultural losses humanity would take in the event of population wipe-out. I think Cormac McCarthy's The Road t...

I abandoned this one an *age* ago, but I'm also ridonkulously busy at the moment. I don't even have time to procrastinate on Booklikes. *weeps* So this one is about a post-viral world where a travelling theatre group perform Shakespeare and ... something. Honestly, I'm not that big on post-viral n...

I hate it when a book is pushed at me as being the best thing since sliced bread, and then I read it and wonder if the people who see it that way have ever read a book before. Seriously. This book is like The Girl on the Train all over again for me. I start to wonder am I insane and not seeing what ...

Everything was Arthur and his parade of ex-wives 24/7, I want to hear about the only gay character in the entire god-damn post-apocalyptic world. Seriously, why is he the sole character with a same-gender relationship, and he doesn't even get...

I finished this a few days ago and have been ruminating on it ever since. I quite liked the style and characterization, the movement through space and time, and the deftness with which the post-apocalyptic world was presented. I read Blindness about a month ago, and it's hard not to draw compariso...

This story more or less revolves around the character Arthur Leander, a Canadian actor who died of a heart attack the day the Georgia Flu hit North America. Jumping back and forth in the timeline, the tale shows how things were before the pandemic and after, how certain characters were influenced, o...
