This feels sacrilegious to say, but I think I would have enjoyed this book more had I not watched the Last of Us... because TLoU just did it better. Same vibes, similar landscape, but the show was so engaging and this book was just... not. That said, some of the writing was quite beautiful. 

The audiobook read by Tom Stechschulte is fantastic, though. I'm glad I read the book in that format.
