Imagine a lot of blah combined with even more of blah, add a dollop of blah to the mix and put a cherry on top (the cherry actually being even more blah) and do you know what you get? Exactly ... Station Eleven! The novel is set in a post-apocalyptic world, 20 years after the outbreak of a devasta...
I wish we got more of Clark and his life before the flu. 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...
Thinking back on Station Eleven in an effort to summarize it I was struck by the ways it seems familiar in the apocalyptic tradition but the story had felt so new in reading. The sensation is like seeing a person from work out on a Saturday night, something so familiar made alien, and, in this case,...
I really enjoyed this book. This was yet another book that I read without knowing anything about it, so it wasn’t quite what I expected. Based on the title I had thought the story would probably take place in space, but actually this book takes place on Earth and really has only the mildest of scien...
I really struggled with this novel. At first, I thought it was the way the author had us readers traveling back and forth in time before the Georgia Flu struck and wiped out many of the world’s population and then I thought I was confused that I was missing part of the story. The story seemed mundan...
So good. I don't re-read books often (re: ever) but I am almost ready to just start over again with this one. There were some passages in here that just blew me away.
I've heard nothing but amazing things about this book so I wanted to give it a read myself. Just to see what all the hype was about. I didn't even know much about this book going in; just that it was "amazing" and that I "have to read it." Well, let me tell you, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's abou...
