This short dystopian novel anticipated the Covid pandemic by fourteen years. It’s a thoughtful story, told throughout via shifts between the time of a pandemic and the remnant of society sixty years later. I appreciated it being set in an area I know very well. It also conveys a strong moral about our environment and connection to it, without turning to polemic. ( ) What will happen when civilization falls? If you're lucky, you'll survive. Or would you be lucky? Looting and disease, poisons in the air and water, from all the containment broken and leaking. This book made me miss my mom and dad. When the past is gone, it's only alive in your memories. When you're gone . . . Decent post-apocalyptic fiction, with a significant debt to the classic Earth Abides. I enjoyed it but by no means is it a must-read. Had flaws, but a solid effort. Not much that was new, but good characters, well-intended. Succeeds at around a 3+/5 level. Best was to read it during my own mini-apocalypse (Hurricane Irene). I very much enjoyed reading this book. Eric is a wonderful character and showing him as a boy and an old man really makes this book work for me. Do not expect a great epic story a world collapsing, that is not what the book aims for. Van Pelt describes the apocalypse on a personal level if you will. It's one of the better books I have read this year. Summer of the Apocalypse has been on my wishlist for a while. After having read it, I regret not getting it sooner. Full Random Comments review ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
