review 1: I was surprised by how much I liked this trio of novelas. It's some of the most human post-apocalyptic work I've read, in an intimate, individual way. That said, a caveat: my high regard depends on pretending that the final Epilogue does not exist. That's actually pretty easy, at it has it is readily detachable from the plot and any resolutions thereof called for by the rest of it. So, disregarding the Epilogue to Part III, I recommend it.
review 2: I loved this book. I bought it on a whim while browsing at the book store. I enjoy a good post apocalyptic tale. This is superb. The prose is stirring. The internal dialogs of the two protagonist are well done. His stories balance on the razor's edge between sadness and hope. At one point I was in tears. My wife wal... moreked in the room and saw me crying in my chair with the book. I hate to compare him to another writer, and make such an obvious comparison, but this is up there with McCarthy's "the Road". Another book that balances sadness and hope. But these stories have a bit more excitement and suspense. Well done Mr Cole! by the way, I loved this book so much I was prompted to write my first review on here, and not just rate it. less
