review 1: This is a reimagining of Moody’s first book from 1996, and as you’d expect the writing is a lot tighter this time around. I got a bit of a John Christopher The Death of (No Blade of) Grass vibe from reading this version. People carrying on as normal while the world dies, then when it’s almost too late a trek across the country while society crumbles around them. Except there’s no motorcycle gangs or people waving guns at each other here, just people who have given up all hope. It loses a star for the Americanisms that have crept into what could only ever be a British story – Mom, backseat, peddle-bike, and a few others. I can understand the reasoning behind it, with there only being one international edition, but they can be jarring if you’re not expecting them... more.But if you go for the ebook version you can easily fix those before you start reading :)
review 2: I quite enjoyed this book, despite reading some of the bad reviews. The characters were extremely real and easy to identify with. I almost felt like I was there, overcoming every obstacle and enjoying every victory. I was drawn right into this world which to me is the most important part of any story. I did see a few minor grammar and spelling mistakes, but that's easy to overlook when your just there for the ride and not trying to find every tiny flaw. Good job David Moody you successfully kept my mind from freezing up on these cold winter nights on a drilling rig. less
