2.5

"Story of one ordinary family and their unexpected adventure of a lifetime"? Absolutely not.

Excepected a fast-paced apocalyptic story full of said adventure, but got a slow burning character driven family drama instead.

Positives

  • Short alternating chapters
  • An easy read
  • Some dark humour 

Negatives

  • Slow burn
  • Ending felt rushed, it's like the author dragged the story up to the last 50-70 pages and then unloaded everything to try catch up
  • Name dropping.. a lot of side characters, too many and whose names I already don't recall. I literally just finished the book.
