I couldn't even make it past page 50 on this one. I tried, but the main character just got on my nerves, and the story just seem to drag too much for my taste.So I am putting this one on the could-not-finish shelf and maybe at some point when I'm out of books to read (ya right) I'll bring this one b...
I wasn't sure I was going to like this one at first, because mostly what the opening chapter or two made me feel was uncomfortable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The world is falling apart, not as the result of one event but slowly, piece by piece. The soft apocalypse. The transformation o...
I don't read a lot of science fiction, but I liked the idea of the slow decay of society. Told in a series of vignettes to show how their part of the world changes around them over the years until there is nothing left of the world they grew up in.
Mmmmm, near-future dystopian lit, just my cuppa. Jasper, our protagonist, is bewildered and needy and afraid at the beginning.

My version is an ebook. I got this as free Friday read from Barnes and Noble and didn't even make it 100 pages. Most of those pages I skipped. Finally gave up when one of the sicker bastards turned a woman's dog into a bomb, got infected with a Happy Virus and gave the same woman a puppy.I love apoc...
This isn't so much post-apocalyptic as during the apocalypse. As the title suggests, this is a soft apocalypse, i.e., there's no one apocalyptic event, there's a series of smaller events that cumulatively lead to the disintegration of society. It's an interesting premise but there are some problems ...
What happens when our government begins to lose it's authority, disease is rampant and unemployment is the norm, not the exception? A "soft apocalypse", that's what. No asteroids, no nukes, no zombies. Just an agonizingly slow decline into chaos.This is the story of Jasper and his "tribe" as they ma...
