5つ星のうち3.0 Not for me.

I am not sure how to review this book. When I choose a book to read, especially when buying online, I first read the precis and then look at the reviews. I also read the first couple of pages to find out if the writing style is clear and to my taste. Fair enough. That is what I did.

I found part 1 very interesting and enjoyed the survival information given in the letter from the unknown man to his daughter, with whom he had clearly had a quarrel or disagreement of some sort. The story flowed along nicely and I expected it follow the same lines throughout the book. Clear and simple, with more characters added along with their back stories.

However, when part 2 began, all of a sudden we meet someone named Jack who is talking to an old man and from then on, for me, total confusion reigned. I really didn't have a clue as to what was going on because both Jack and the old man turned out not to be who they said they were, neither did anyone else and I was not sure who was fighting who or what for. The story became quite muddled and I became quite irritated with it.

I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent. I read a lot of books and can always understand the plot and characters so I am not sure why this book was so difficult to understand. The author can clearly write well, as demonstrated in part 1, but the rest of the book was wholly disappointing and I will not read anything more by this author. I am sorry but this book is not for me.

This is an unusual book in that it begins as a 'letter' from a father to his daughter, and ends with a hint of another adventure.

The letter hopes for a reunion, but in the meantime, the father details his days now that the luxuries of the human race have all gone. He still has his home, his garden, chickens, a goat, and his greenhouse. Having been living a good way outwith the nearest village, he was rarely bothered. As a result, he learned to grow everything he needed to survive. A very accomplished nurturer, indeed. This part of the book is slow as you learn his routines, what vegetables grow when, and how to tend the seedlings and the soil. It goes slowly because he has nothing else to do, nothing else to tell his daughter. He doesn't even know if she is dead or alive, so all his hard work writing, may be for no point whatsoever. The author clearly has meticulously researched this subject and it shows. But this part of the book also lulls you into a false sense of security.

I won't spoil the rest of the story for you as it is well-paced and well-written, but when things happen to change his life, by God, they don't half! It's like a spy novel - you don't know who to trust, the characters don't even know. You think you know the characters? You don't. The plot is very unexpected and cleverly done, however the book does feel a wee bit too long.

With the ending of the book the way it is, there are many adventurous scenarios that could take place in the future with these characters.

This book kept me guessing all the way through to the end. Just when I thought I knew who the bad guys were, I found out I was wrong. It was a fast moving book and I had to concentrate to keep events straight. You will not want to miss reading this book.

5つ星のうち3.0 Moments of brilliance; within a convoluted plot

Split into 9 distinct sections this story is told from a variety of perspectives and styles.
The strongest section is by far the first, thereafter each slowly declines in quality until a final showdown that offers very little in the way of resolution.

Most of the characters are flat plot devices that are introduced as swiftly as they are deposed in order to advance a plot that though interesting; is also quite frustrating.

The first section is comparable with Defoe’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ in its exploration of isolation and the development of the only well fleshed out character that of our initial narrator who is as methodical and self-reliant as Defoe’s titular character.

The following two sections offer a litany of quotable moments which explore the depths of depravity of humanity, and offer an insight into a very realistic and believable societal collapse.

In sections 4-9 a change in writing tense brought with it a decline in style which this novel never really recovered from. The narrative felt forced and the characters seemed dragged to the conclusion whether they wanted to be there or not.

Though I was inspired to read to the end this was purely due to the powerful opening.

Overall this novel feels like a good idea, with a great start and a poor execution. I would recommend the initial third of this novel as a great example of dystopian fiction; but would be unlikely to read more by this author at present. Though would consider doing so in the future.
