Reseña de: The dog stars, de Peter Heller. No sé exactamente que esperaba de este libro. Probablemente algo Y.A., postapocalíptico y romántico. La verdad es que entre tantos libros, recomendaciones, listas y demás, a veces solo escojo una portada o un título y me pongo a leer. Es un riesgo, este m...
The Dog Stars...I'm still mulling over this story, because I'm still not sure how I feel. It was good, even magnificent, and sad, really very sad. You can feel certain parts of despair seeping from the pages as you read it. I know a part of me was mad. I said to myself (the part that is mad): "You k...
"A novel about the end of the world which makes you glad to be alive." That is what it says on the cover of my edition. They had my at "end of the world," but "glad to be alive"? How was a novel about the end of the world going to make me feel glad to be alive? Now? With this earth-destroying, ...
Do you know those books that end with you thinking:“Why did I spend so much time of my precious life reading this?”That’s what I’m thinking and feeling right now after finishing this book..It’s about Hig, and his dog, and their neighbor Bangley. They’ve survived some kind of decease/plague that took...
I finished this book this week but forgot to mark it read! Oops!This is the first dystopian, post-apocalypse novel that I've read and enjoy. The author, besides writing fiction, also writes poetry and brings a wonderful poetical, lyrical quality to the writing. It's a haunting tale of Hig; pilot, ga...

A post-apocalyptic book club selection!The author is a writer for magazines like National Geographic Adventure (so I know I've probably read some of his writing before). He concentrates on outdoor & adventure writing, so the whole post-apocalyptic survival thing seems to come naturally. I felt that ...
I've read complaints about Heller's fragmented prose, but I found it not unlike reading thought. I don't think in complete sentences, either. Nor did the dialogue's absence of quotation marks trouble me. However, you know what's going to happen when there's an old dog at the beginning of the book ...
A frightening, beautiful novel that somehow finds a home between the bleak terror of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and the lyricism of James Galvin's The Meadow. The story's starkness celebrates, in its way, the harshness of the Western landscape, while the writing itself feels out the simple truths a...
Not what I was expecting, which was a book similar to the road. This one is more..I don't know, I think someone called it lyrical? Instead of feeling like a story it felt like It was some English class story/poem I had to read. Look at the pages of the book. See how they're all ragged, old looking, ...
