review 1: I did not enjoy the writing style. It was schizophrenic and militant, and while this does probably fit the style of the novel, it was not something I enjoyed. I would have preferred characters a little bit less disturbed. Plus, the whole time I was unsure if all these things were really happening. I did step out of my enjoyed reading zone with this book, but it was just so all over the place, it didn't work. I also did not enjoy the random snippets from the main character's 'childhood.' They really had no place in the story; I think the author was just filling space or trying to keep it from being all about the 'war' but I would have preferred this. I did not get a real sense of the characters because I was only given their delusions. I never connected with the characters... more and the ended just left me disappointed. There was a serious lack of substance to the story and I don't feel I gained anything by reading it.
review 2: I hit a problem around page 100 where I couldn't decide if I loved or hated this book - either way, I knew I felt strongly about it. This is not your typical post-apocalypse. Interspersed within the chapters are excerpts from The Book - the rules the two main characters put together from other's advice on what to do once the end happens. As you read The Book, you recognize all the cliches of the genre, and the author's advice on how to handle them.An interesting, but still fairly quick, read. less
