Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I found this book to be a thoroughly enjoyable read. Think of a combination of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" and Jonathan Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close". Sam Taylor's character's are convincing and the plot is suspenseful -- a postapococalyptic view into a dysfunctional family.
A tremendously worthwhile read....
